Botanical drawing with Dr Tabatha Forbes at Mitolo Wines
About
Botanical Art is a classic art practice for those who love nature, gardening, botany, science and art! Join New Zealand artist Dr Tabatha Forbes to create elegant botanical drawings inspired by plants collected from the beautiful surrounds of McLaren Vale. Tabatha’s drawing workshop is a guided introduction to botanical art, drawing from simple plant compositions and exploring pencil & pen drawing techniques.“A day spent drawing plants is the most unexpected and beautiful of days; within the timeless grace of botanical art lies contemplation and observation; slowing us down, while reminding us to look around and pay careful attention, igniting the wondrous spark between art and nature.”
Dr Tabatha Forbes
Tabatha is a multidisciplinary practicing artist with a Doctorate in Fine Arts from the University of Auckland. Her studies and practice focus on connecting creativity with her love of the natural world.
The masterclass will take place in a quiet, light-filled space at the elegant Mitolo Wines cellar door. Participants will break for lunch and join the warm Italian hospitality of Little Wolf Osteria for a bowl of house made fresh pasta and a glass of Mitolo’s Jester wine. $145 per head, including materials and lunch. Friday 19 June, 10.30 am-3 pm at Mitolo Wines, 141 McMurtrie Road, McLaren Vale. Only 12 places available. Participants must be over 18 yrs.
