Learn how to illustrate butterflies!
Throughout this course we will be studying and sketching beautiful British butterflies (although the skills are transferable to all species of butterfly and moth).
You will learn how to draw and paint the anatomy, wing shape and patterns whilst still wearing an illustrators' hat and giving yourself LOTS of artistic license!
There's loads of tips and tricks on how to create butterflies that are expressively rendered and full of life rather than a dull, scientifically correct drawing! You may also learn a lot about yourself and the things that inspire you whilst developing your own creative skills.
Includes Step-By-Step Instructions, Tips & Tricks
Fun, Friendly and Welcoming!
The workshop is divided up into eight parts and with seven videos to watch. Throughout the classes, there are lots of mini tasks and creative activities to work on as well as printable references, tracing guides and a collage sheet.
You will learn everything you need to know to get started and keep going!
All you need is a few basic tools and techniques...plus the brilliant cheats that I'm SO excited to share with you including how to make your own mini book to show your collection!
I'm too excited and all of a flutter!! Let's get scribbling.....

Just a note to say thank you for the for the class last night. You gave us some really useful starters and I like the 'you cannot go wrong and if you do just paint/paper over it' approach. The classes are helping me to feel interested again in what I am doing and spurring me on to do more, so, a big 'thank you' for that too.
Lucia Leyfield
Lucia is an artist, letterer and teacher who loves creating illustrated journals and artist books. She has become known for a unique and creative approach to her work which has been described as 'quietly joyful...a nostalgic, moving and profound ...a treasure chest of creativity and inspiration'
Her journals and sketchbooks, which record life as it happens, conversations, inspirations and experiments, have become works of art in their own right. Many of Lucia's sketchbooks are handmade with a range of papers and combine traditional and experimental hand lettering with watercolour, collage and mixed media sketches.
She is inspired by a diverse range of things: the old, rusty and wonky, worn architectural patinas, ancient diagrams, aged buildings, old books and ephemera, explorers' sketchbooks and vintage field guides.
