Botanical artist Ann Swan has earned a reputation in the World of Botanical Art and is regularly sought after to give workshops and attend lectures all over the World. She has her own book published on the subject available from Amazon here:
Botanical Painting with Coloured Pencils Hardcover
We have been working with Ann since 2013 – scanning her fabulous coloured pencil botanical artworks and producing her giclee prints.
With the lockdown however Ann was unable to run the workshops she runs from here studio in Rowde – Wiltshire. Neither was she able to travel to attend seminars across the World.
Rather than this become a major disaster for her, Ann took to using ZOOM to run her workshops on-line and this has turned out to be a huge success. She has found a great many more students signing up for here workshops and they all seem to rather like working this way.

Ann rigged up a camera directly over her drawing board and so students get to a a great view of the practical demonstrations.
Number of new students has increased too – as many people started to take up new interested and hobbies during the lockdown.
Maybe you were one of them – or maybe you started learning something new during the lockdown. Why not share your story with us.
