Drawing Magnolias and Camellias in Colored Pencil with Nina Antze

Spend two hours drawing some of SFBG's most notable winter and early spring blooms, magnolias and camellias, in colored pencil.  The unique colors of magnolias and camellias provide the opportunity to practice mixing and layering color and exploring watercolor pencil to underpaint and capture the translucency and delicacy of these flowers. You will have a unique opportunity to draw specimens that the Garden will provide.
