Student Xiao Lan Mellor wrote the message below to London Art College tutor Polly O’Leary when starting the Botanical Painting Course. We of course love Polly’s artwork too!
We have added two of Xiao’s beautiful watercolour paintings below and hope that our students and readers find them inspiring. If you would like to try your hand at botanical painting, head on over to our website to find out more!
Dear Polly,
I am very keen on botanical drawing and have been self-taught for a while. I am doing this course because I hope I can get some professional advice to improve my skills. I am very impressed by your wonderful drawings. They are so beautiful.
