Celebrate (and document) one of the best parts of California: the great outdoors! Using works from the Crocker’s permanent collection, learn the differences between artistic renderings of plants and botanical illustration. Afterwards, practice drawing with precision and detail using color pencils. All participants will use colored pencils to produce small drawings in a small sketchbook.
