Gorgeous Gourds Botanical Drawing Class with Veronica Fannin In-Person

Registration required.
Cost: $30 all supplies included (please bring your own lunch)
From plump pumpkins to warty gourds, autumn’s harvest is full of texture and charm. Their bumpy skins and bold colors make gourds and squash fascinating and fun to draw. In this one-day workshop, we’ll explore how to capture their unique surfaces and sculptural forms using Draw Botanical's signature combination of watercolor and colored pencil. Decorative gourd subjects will be provided, but feel free to bring your own gourd to draw if you'd like.

What We’ll Practice:
Texture & Dimension: Build bumpy surfaces and segmented patterns with watercolor and colored pencil.
Color Mixing & Layering: Recreate mottled skins, subtle tones, and bold hues.
Light & Shadow: Practice toning to create depth and show off curved, 3D forms.

Veronica (Vern) Fannin is an artist from Kerhonkson, NY, whose practice includes illustration, painting, design, and botanical drawing. Her botanical work blends scientific accuracy with a poetic sensibility, often featuring delicate local plants rendered with attention to pattern, movement, and lyrical composition. Informed by her background in design and lettering, her drawings are composed with clarity and grace—quiet studies in the rhythm and elegance of natural forms.
