Botanical Sketchbooking: A Meditative Approach

Great pace, great that you can go back and back. Viewed the course on phone via app and on lap top, great versatility. Content as advertised.

I enjoyed this course immensely. I could do it at my own pace though I had trouble accessing the same materials in our small town in Australia. It has inspired me to work at my own pace and look more closely at plants around me.

Such a wonderful course, I love it. The meditative approach (forget your smartphone and social media) and taking time to study the plants/flowers is so relaxing. Thank you very much Lapin. Muchas gracias!

gosto muito da abordagem de Lapin, e a possibilidade de acompanhar cada etapa do processo. Porém bastante perturbador é o fato de não conseguir ver o trabalho sendo desenvolvido em detalhes, ainda mais em um curso tão longo. a domestika escolheu filmar usando takes que mostram o material a mesa às custas de mostrar efetivamente o trabalho sendo feito. isso é bastante irritante e me parece pouco sensível à disposição e tempo do artista. a filmagem deve contemplar o ensino.

Very good course. It corresponds to all expectations. Lapin is an excellent teacher and is able to fully convey a meditative approach to botanical sketching.

Disappointed that the drawing of the tulip was a different angle than what was shown. Also, Lapin did not talk or explain as he was working. It would have been nice to know the size of pens when he changed & also, the paints, brushes, colors & pens, etc.

This is really a nice course, especially the way Lapin gives the instructions. His presence is very calm and he inspires you to slow down, take time to see and notice the details.

I'm enjoying this class. Lapin walks the student through his approach to illustrating succulents and flowers using a fineliner and a limited number of watercolors to create all the colors needed to recreate what you see. The videos of Lapin drawing are very thorough, resources are extensive and inspiring, and the instructions to complete the assignments are clear. Lapin responds to all forum entries and he encourages students to move ahead even when they make a "mistake" while drawing.

Very good at focusing in what you actually see.

Botanical Sketchbooking: A Meditative Approach by Lapin - It continues to be a beautiful experience. Lapin's teaching method truly helps sustain drawing with a very natural pace and to focus on really "seeing" what is in front of you. Each aspect of the creative process is presented clearly, doable and also has to do with self-care, especially when one needs to pause from everything, relax or stop thinking for awhile. I would definitely recommend this course. Thank you, Lapin and Domestika.

He aprendido y disfrutado muchísimo el curso. Aun no lo he terminado. He tenido el tiempo muy limitado, pero los ratos que logro destinarle son muy agradables y muy enriquecedores. Tengo un gusto especial por el sketch urbano, por lo tanto la mayor parte del tiempo dibujo rápido. En este curso he tenido la oportunidad de aprender a privilegiar la observación y la relajación al dibujar. Es esta la enseñanza mas enriquecedora. Espero continuar con el curso y llegar al proyecto final.

This is a wonderful course! I am just beginning drawing and watercolor; instructions were easy to understand and it truly is a meditative and stress- relieving process. Thank you! I will be taking his other course on urban sketching.

What a great course. It is so relaxing and I learned a lot!

I love Lapin! This is my first time seeing / knowing him, and I agree and can relate to his ideas, inspirations, outlook on so many things. And I do love, love, love his work!

I love learning about the artist's background and his techniques are great for beginners.
