Healing words: Botanical drawing workshop

Join London Drawing and the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) Museum for a very special evening of botanical drawing and painting with botanical drawing specialist, Sisetta Zappone.

We will be exploring the Medicinal Garden at the RCP for specimens for draw from, investigating prints and reference materials from the RCP library and archives, and using the current exhibition 'Healing Words' as inspiration.

With short talks and in-depth demonstrations - enjoy a deep dive into drawing from plants with all the fantastic resources at the RCP at your fingertips. We will be working in graphite, ink and watercolour to bring your investigations to life. The work of 18th century botanical illustrator Elizabeth Blackwell, preserved in the RCP collection, will be a particular focus of study.

Join us for a sumptuous evening of drawing exploration! All materials and refreshments will be provided, no experience necessary.
