Non-PNBA Workshops and Classes
Due to COVID-19, many, if not all, in-person workshops and classes have been postponed or cancelled. Some instructors and institutions have created online / "virtual" workshops and classes to help fill this gap. A description of some upcoming workshops taught by PNBA members or instructors who have previously taught PNBA workshops are listed below. In addition, a sampling of websites describing other online workshops and classes is provided on this page.

Crystal Shin - Drawing Alpine Wildflowers of Washington from the photographs - (4 week Zoom classes)
May 25 - June 15th, 2022 - 4 Wed evenings, 6:30 - 8:30 pm
Medium: Colored Pencils
Draw from photographs used in a poster of the “Alpine Wildflowers of Washington by Burke Museum”, graciously provided by Photographer Donovan Tracy, or draw similar species from your own photographs. This is a great way to spend evenings while reviewing your species photographs. We will work on one flower drawing per session which can be completed at home. You can follow along with my demonstration or choose a different flower of your preference. At the end of the course, you will have completed 4 alpine wildflower drawings!
You will learn how to accurately translate a photo into a drawing by observing form, highlights, subtle changes of tone, shade and color to create dimensionality. With the use of colored pencil techniques, you will learn and practice how to blend colors smoothly while learning to see the intricacies of beautiful alpine flowers. This is a great class to focus on practicing colored pencil techniques.

Presentations by Various Botanical Artists, hosted by Julia Trickey (via Zoom)
At the start of 2021 Julia Trickey began hosting talks by fellow botanical artists (via Zoom) as a way of supporting them through the Pandemic, as well as bringing their work and enthusiasm for botanical art to a wider audience. The talks have focused on a range of topics such as painting techniques, ongoing projects, sketchbook work and commercial illustration. These talks have proved popular so Julia will continue to host them in 2022.
There is a charge for the webinars, however, the first session of the New Year (January 6th, 2022), which focuses on the best bits of the 2021 talks, will be free in order to give those new to this series a chance to get a feel for what they are like. You can watch the webinars live or have access to a recording for a couple of days or so afterwards, therefore time zones are not an issue.
