Workshops

In 2020 Penny will be leading graphite pencil and cut paper collage workshops with the South West Society of Botanical Artists, at The Kingcombe Centre, at Sculpture by the Lakes and at The Dorset Centre for the Creative Arts on Poundbury.

New Correspondence Botanical Drawing Group

I have set up a graphite pencil drawing group to keep us all learning and motivated through the isolation of coronavirus.  There will be a project every few weeks, with references, botanical information, step-by-step diagrams and ideas to develop further.  You will then send your work to me, and I will return it with personalised, constructive advice.  Please contact me for further details at pennyjanebrown@gmail.com

Spring Flowers and Buds in Graphite

Enjoy drawing Spring flowers and buds in graphite pencil in this one day botanical drawing workshop.

You will be encouraged to use a full range of pencils and will be shown various techniques from clear outlines to sharp hatching and smooth, rich blending. Basic drawing skills are needed for this course, where you will receive all the support you need to achieve a botanically accurate and visually pleasing pencil drawing.
