rynlingBotanical Sketchbooking: A Meditative Approach
https://www.domestika.org/en/courses/2128-botanical-sketchbooking-a-meditative-approach
Slowing down and connecting with nature through botanical illustration is how urban sketcher and illustrator Lapin finds peace in the rush of everyday life. He believes drawing through observation is a great way to develop creativity and mindfulness. In this course, he guides you through his meditative illustration methods to create lush illustrations of the plants and flowers around you.
What I like about this guy is that he's specifically focused on urban botanical illustration. I hate botanical illustration books and YouTube videos that are like 🎵 Go out into nature and take inspiration from what you see 🎵 when what I see is a opossum crawling out of my neighbor's mud-encrusted recycle bin. (I did draw the opossum btw.)
Parisian accents used to put me off, but I now associate this specific type of French accent with Kim Kitsuragi (my beloved) from Disco Elysium, so that's all right then.
ETA: This guy apparently made his wardrobe himself, and this class essentially teaches you how you can do the same. In other words, it's not so much about "connecting with nature" as it is about designing and manufacturing your own gorgeously botanical aloha shirt. Fuck yes.
