Botanical Drawing Fall Apple with Nancy Lyons

Learn how to bring natural forms to life on the page in this introductory botanical drawing workshop. Over three focused hours, you’ll explore the foundational techniques that give botanical art its signature depth, clarity, and elegance.

You’ll begin by breaking down complex shapes into simple geometric forms, then use gradual toning to build structure and dimension. Through careful layering of neutral tones followed by rich color application with colored pencils, you’ll discover how to make your drawing truly pop off the page.

This process is approachable for beginners and deeply satisfying for returning artists—an ideal way to slow down, observe closely, and create something beautiful.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have completed a Fall Apple botanical study, full of warmth and seasonal character.

Supplies are not included in the cost of the workshop. A PDF supply list is available in the workshop description.
