Orchid Morphology, and Painting an Orchid Book Plate


New York Botanical Garden Zoom Workshop

April 19, 21, and 23.

On day one, Dick Rauh will walk you through putting different types of orchids under the microscope to focus on their fine details and learn about their special adaptations. Then, orchid artist Carol Woodin will show you techniques to achieve the waxy textures, subtle colors, and graceful forms of this flower family. Each student will make a book-plate sized painting in the style of a botanical monograph.
