Botanical Art

The Ness School of Botanical Artists has a long tradition of teaching and training those who wish to understand the art of Botanical Painting including illustration from beginners to the highest level.

 

All the resident tutors have exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society and achieved medals for their entries and have teaching or Botanical Illustration qualifications.

Through the classes, all have access to the Gardens and have used the many plants, some rare and only found at Ness as specimens for illustrations. For some this has led to book illustration and special projects including joint RHS entries.
