I started teaching online some years ago because I felt that there was a need for better access to botanical art education. I wanted to write a course that covered the all important techniques that are so often missed out in teaching - at that time there was very little available online. The Botanical Illustration course was presented for the first time in 2012 and continues to evolve each year as I lean more about what students need. I've recently added more materials on my method of colour mixing and some professional development materials.
