The Botanical Press

Join me in this NEW course!

The main focus of this course is working from outdoor field studies and more detailed Botanical Drawings towards one or more multi-layered Blockprints of your favorite herbs and plants.

Alongside, you will be guided through the process of collecting and pressing plants, to make an Herbarium.

The first lesson will be on a Sunday at Duingebied Solleveld,  4 lessonss on Tuesday evenings at my Printmaking Studio, and the last one is another excursion (see schedule below).

Lessons

  • LESSON #1: Field studies @ Solleveld

    On the first Sunday we will start with an introduction about ‘Drawing from Nature’. You will make your own Herbal Studies, field notes and sketches and collect plants to start your own Herbarium. In this lesson you can experiment with all sorts of drawing materials and test different colour combinations.

  • Duingebied Solleveld, Ockenburg Den Haag

  • LESSON #2: Botanical Drawing + Herbarium Study

    During the second lesson we go into different styles of ‘Botanical Illustration’ and make more detailed Botanical Drawings. After this lesson you can think about how you want to shape your project (for example: if you want to make one bigger multi-layered print or work on several smaller single-layered illustrations for your Herbarium).

  • Kazernestraat 98, 2591CT Den Haag

  • LESSON #3-5: Block Printing part 1-2-3 + Herbarium

    In lesson 3-5 we will transform field studies or detailed drawings into one or more Blockprint Designs. We will make one-layered or multi-layered-designs and print on different types of paper.

    Alongside these steps in our Blockprinting process, we will also work on our Herbarium at home and during the lessons.

  • LESSON #6: Excursion

    The final lesson is another excursion to a location yet-to-be-decided :).

    After this full course you’ll go home with your field-studies, botanical drawings, your growing Herbarium and of course your set of block prints!
