In-person - Floral Banner Illustration
In-person - Floral Banner Illustration
Book a private or semi-private workshop with Billie Claire to learn the basics of botanical illustrations! This class can accommodate up to 6 people (please reach out if you have a bigger group size!), and will be in-person at a location within the Richmond, Virginia metro area.
All materials are included - supplies will be brought with me to the class!
Location - You should have been prompted in my Calendly booking to choose a location for this event. I am more than happy to come to you - all we need is a space large enough to fit the guests with surfaces to write on - whether that’s a large dining table, a living room with coffee tables/TV trays, or space for a folding table. If hosting in your home is not an option, I am happy to host in my home studio in Church Hill; or for groups of 1-2 people we can meet in a neutral location like a coffee shop.

Floral Banner Illustration is a botanical illustration class with a focus on combining hand drawn florals and botanical stems with a flowing banner featuring hand lettered text of your choice. After you choose your basic banner shape, I will walk you through how to draw a myriad of different botanical stems and plants - from prickly pear cacti and wildflowers to ferns and assorted greenery. Each student will receive one-on-one help with design tips and feedback to help you create a well-balanced and cohesive structure for your design. You will then get to use some of my favorite illustration tools to ink in your drawing. Last but not least, you'll get to choose a phrase to fill your banner - sassiness encouraged but not required. You will take home a finished illustration, a few of my favorite illustration tools, and a packet of go-to botanical designs to use in your next project! This class is open to all skill levels - no prior floral illustration experience required.
