BOTANICAL ART TALK SHORTS

View short extracts from recent online talks by leading botanical artists

I first began hosting one-hour online talks during the Pandemic to connect those inspired by botanical art at every level from beginner to professional artist, as well as to make a living and support my fellow speakers, at an otherwise difficult time.

 

Every presentation is unique in style, reflecting the personality and interests of each artist and is richly illustrated with examples of artwork and/or technique demonstrations, followed by the opportunity for Q&A. These talks now attract an audience from over 35 countries worldwide.

Below you can view short extracts from recent talks for free as well as the full length BEST BITS videos.

If you enjoy these clips why not check out the upcoming speakers HERE, where you can watch the presentations

in full and attend live if you'd like to interact with the speaker or watch a recording during the week following

the live event.
