We’ve partnered with Treehaus Studio to bring you an incredible paddle series with local naturalist-artist Alex Petersen.
This series of paddles is designed to introduce the basics of botanical drawing and illustration, while also identifying native plants of the St. Croix River Valley. Each paddle is designed to build off of previous sessions, but it is not necessary to attend each paddle. The series introduces people to the basics of illustration, observational drawing, composition and plant identification. Whether you are experienced with drawing, or just getting started, each paddle is designed to accommodate all comfort levels. Drawing style and approach will focus on the history and contemporary approaches of botanical illustrations, providing guidance, insight and inspiration as a foundation for continued practice.
