Historic Yellow Springs

Medicinal Botanicals: The Living Specimens

with Margaret Saylor

$80

Working from live medicinal plant specimens, participants will draw roots, stems, leaves, and flowers through careful observation. Unlike historic botanical illustrations, living plants offer the delightful challenge of movement, variation, and imperfection—the leaf that curls, the flower that leans, the stem that refuses the composition you planned.

Drawing from direct observation, artists will strengthen their skills in proportion, line, texture, and form while developing a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of medicinal plants. Whether you are new to botanical art or an experienced artist, this workshop offers an opportunity to slow down, look closely, and connect with nature through drawing. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to really see.
