Two Day Workshop; Friday April 17 & Saturday April 18, 2026, 10 am to 4pm The Inn at Fernbrook Farms welcomes back the artistic talents of Draw Botanical for our spring workshop of 2026. Draw Botanical is a leader in teaching botanical illustration techniques using colored pencil and watercolor throughout the world.
We are excited to host the first workshop of the season at the Farmshed, in our new hoop house. The hoop house offers an opportunity for guests to attend our educational events and field to table experiences in a rustic, intimate setting.
ABOUT THIS 2-DAY WORKSHOP: Learn the techniques outlined in “The Joy of Botanical Drawing.” Instruction will include how to use the grisaille method for creating undertones in a neutral color, allowing for three-dimensional accurate drawing and clear structure of plants. Students will explore layering techniques that utilize watercolor pencil washes in combination with dry colored pencils, creating a painting that has realistic vibrant color and rich depth. A separate supply list will be emailed to confirmed guests. Our inspiration will be the peak of Spring and the abundant flowers featured at The Inn at Fernbrook Farm. A farm fresh, individual picnic lunch will be served. $300 for two day workshop.
Reservations are limited, save your spot now as this event will sell out!
ABOUT THE ARTIST: Pam Thompson is a Draw Botanical instructor, botanical artist and scientist in Pennsylvania where she strives to capture the unique, intrinsic artistry of the plants that inspire her. Raised in the middle of nowhere, she developed a deep curiosity about the woodland plants that surrounded her, but didn’t discover her love of botanical art until 2017 when she attended a workshop with Wendy. She’s been head over heels since, and is enrolled in the Botanical Illustration Program at the New York Botanical Garden. She is inspired by the flora of local farms and gardens of Bucks County where she resides, and on the native plants surrounding the glaciated lakes and bogs of the Pocono Plateau. www.drawbotanical.com
