Ruth teaches a range of botanical drawing and watercolour techniques. The emphasis is on botanical observation, accuracy and seasonal plant material.

All abilities will be catered for with individual tuition in a supportive environment. Students learn through a series of exercises, which are then applied in small projects to botanical specimens. Basic botany is also covered.
