Botanical art focuses to record accurate information about the shapes, structures, colours, life cycle and habits of plants.
It lies at the intersection of science and art, combining detailed scientific observation with artistic skill.
To know more you can join the Botanical Art Society of Australia.
Whether you're just picking up a brush, delving into pencils, or already painting fine watercolours of flora, our group is designed to spark inspiration, build skill, and deepen connection. You’ll share in the joy of capturing leaves, flowers, seeds and all the wonder of the plant world.
We aim to encourage artists of all levels, novice or seasoned, to share, practice and promote botanical art, and bring together people with a passion for plants.
We share our tips and tricks to other members to further pursue their love for drawing and painting the botanical world.
We believe in the power of observation, carefully looking at a plant’s structure, texture, colour and the beauty of connection to our natural world, to each other. In doing so, we not only create art, but we become plant-storytellers. Through your art you can bring to light hidden details, endangered flora, or simply the quiet elegance of the everyday garden.
