I'd taken many art classes throughout the years, since my teens, but didn't really know what I wanted to focus on in art until I discovered BI. I then took 3 years of BI classes through the Denver Botanic Gardens School of Botanical Illustration while running a small franchise business full time. Absolutely love it!<br /><br />A year ago I sold the franchise and have just moved to a different state. My new career ambition is to be a professional botanical illustrator and artist but, as you mentioned, there is little info on how to build this type of biz. You can bet I will be following this series in your blog.Albahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17339677989395673791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401160288631130110.post-79001672030570889582021-07-03T06:33:13.356-07:002021-07-03T06:33:13.356-07:00These are just so beautiful Dianne!These are just so beautiful Dianne!Jackie Isardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401160288631130110.post-63432141707912891462021-06-28T13:29:18.135-07:002021-06-28T13:29:18.135-07:00Mrs.Dianne, Thank you so much for sharing your val...Mrs.Dianne, Thank you so much for sharing your valuable information about on this topic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14077419830119623953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401160288631130110.post-62354651107617134562021-01-24T06:28:22.058-08:002021-01-24T06:28:22.058-08:00everything i grow here (except columbine) ends up ...everything i grow here (except columbine) ends up deer candy......so i can envy your sweetpeasvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10734740377607163764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401160288631130110.post-44649036884257273062020-08-20T07:06:44.470-07:002020-08-20T07:06:44.470-07:00Thank you, Dianne, for all the useful information....Thank you, Dianne, for all the useful information. I'm going to get one of those drawing boards! I've enjoyed your blog for years, especially your paper discussion a few years back. I love rough sketching on Finch Opaque 70lb smooth white paper, which I have made up into 11x14 inch sketchpads by my local printers. But I am also a big fan of the Stillman & Birn Zeta sketchbooks, which I love for color sketching and learned about from one of your earlier posts.

I explored a plant in Wyoming last summer that lives between 30 and 80 years but blooms only once before dying, common name of Elk Weed, (Frasea Speciosa), which inspired me to become a better artist and take your class after sad sketches in the field. Determined to do a full study of it this summer with new skills under my belt. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration.

I'm wondering whether the difficulty with painting with the MG paints on vellum was due to the honey in the binder, noting that it's best to use paint quite dry on vellum. <br /><br />The one colour I have struggled with is Ultramarine/French Ultramarine PB29 and searching for the least granulating one. My teacher Deirdre Bean found the Holbein French Ultramine Light PB29 to so far be the least granulating, which is best for botanical work. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I think my paint collection resembles yours. And great that you mentioned the Handprint website. I always consulted it during my paint buying forays!
