Fall in New Mexico is a time to celebrate the harvest of three crops that have been especially important to local Indigenous cultures—beans, squash, and corn. Join botanical artist/illustrator Helen Byers in this workshop to portray one or all of them in detail! Helen’s demos and personalized instruction will guide you in a versatile realistic drawing technique using colored pencil with watercolor.
