How a Botanical Artist Looks at a Rose

FreeHow a Botanical Artist Looks at a Rose
Wednesday, April 28 | 12-1pm
This program is in support of our science illustration exhibit, The Art of Nature, on view online and in-person at the Museum.
Learn how to get to know a rose in order to illustrate it. We’ll explore native and heritage roses and observe their particular characteristics. During this online lecture, Maria Cecilia Freeman will demonstrate how to draw and paint petals, leaves, and other parts that help distinguish a rose. Once you draw the identifying parts of a particular rose, you’ll recognize it wherever you see it.
We are happy to offer our online lectures for free to make them as accessible as possible. Please consider making a donation during your registration to support the Museum’s mission of connecting people with nature and science to inspire stewardship of the natural world.
