New this month (October 1rst, 2009):
Hawaii Orchid Painting: The application form is up, and the deadline for the February 21rst-27th workshop is 1 November 2009. Tell your friends! Please visit the new photo pages I have posted for the workshop, class size, location, field trips, and meals. E-mail me at vorobik@gmail.com. To see what Judy Waller did after the workshop (Wow!): http://www.johnandjudywaller.com/watercolors/orchids/orchid.html
November 21rst& 22nd Botanical Illustration Workshop at Pt. Reyes. I was just out to see the site, and it is fantastic: remote; really nice main building. If you like being in the wild, here is your opportunity to spend it at Point Reyes, and have a great drawing retreat as well.
Look on the workshop page for other 2009 and 2010 lectures, workshops, and shows, with several in Washington, Oregon, and California.
I will host an Introduction to Botanical Illustration Workshop on Lopez Island, WA, if I have enough interested. Email me at vorobik@gmail.com to be on a waiting list. If I hear from 8 or more, I will find a space to hold it and arrange a date.
Finally, my apologies for stale Gallery Page....I have been very busy with an October deadline for finishing revising drawings for the California Flora, The Jepson Manual, but do look for new watercolors in the gallery soon!
I have posted information for commissioned botanical illustrations. This would be of interest to botanists wishing to commission illustrations and to other illustrators interested in my fees or business procedure.
For teachers: I have posted a PDF for teachers to use, illustrating different types of inflorescences, or flowering stalks. And for those learning about botanical art, I have posted a botanical art annotated bibliography (first draft).
Happy exploring the wonderful world of plants & revelling in nature through art!
