The RBGE Certificate in Botanical Illustration (CBI) is a great way to learn the fundamental techniques of paint and pencil. Using plants as our core subject this course is an ideal starting certificate for those wishing to move on to the Advanced Certificate in Botanical Illustration or complete the RBGE Diploma in Botanical Illustration.
The techniques you learn are valuable across all areas of illustration and are seldom taught in art colleges or university art departments, so it is well suited to any developing artist.
There are many courses that teach botanical illustration, but this structured course consists of 10 units with assessment built into the programme within a standard framework. The focus is on the fundamental skills, and is taught by experienced and enthusiastic tutors.
