Practice your drawing skills with a variety of plant subjects at the Garden! Bring your favorite portable medium and explore a new collection or artistic focus each month. Our award-winning artist instructor will start with a demonstration, then answer questions and provide tips and one-on-one attention throughout an unstructured drawing period. We will end by gathering to share our experiences and drawings.

Beat the heat by joining us at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) for a unique opportunity to sketch from specially curated pressed plant specimens from the BRIT Philecology Herbarium collection.

Registration includes Garden admission for the day—we encourage you to explore the Garden before and after class!
