Native grasslands, inhabited by more than 600 species of plants, once covered 40 percent of the continent. Less than 1 percent of it remains today. Colorado has lost approximately 35 percent of its central short grass prairie. Distinctive plant structure and forms of grasses present a challenge to illustrators. Learn to use a microscope to examine spikelets, rachilla, glumes and bract, and the lemma and palea that make up grasses. Careful observation and step-by-step instruction will help you to paint accurate and delicate portraits of these beautiful botanical subjects. Prerequisites: Pencil I and Watercolor I
