When studying plants in their natural habitats, collecting field information accurately and quickly is important. After find-
ing a subject in the field, students will learn to collect information by sketching, paint-ing, and photographing in order to compose accurate and beautiful groupings of Maine plants to complete in the classroom. Each microlandscape should impart a real sense of place, while also serving as a botanical portrait. A historical overview of botanical portraiture and microlandscapes will be dis-cussed. This will give participants a perspec-tive which will help them in developing com-positions for their own watercolor paintings.
