Hi, Bethany Ly here.... It's so good to be back and starting this course. I really loved the last 2 classes and I've really been looking forward to learning more in these next 6 weeks. In the few months since we finished up the previous session I've painted a bit, but am still struggling with depicting leaves well; I'm hoping for more insights this session! Tbh I'm already feeling nostalgic and a bit sad at the thought that this is the last Botanical Illustration course.
I currently live in north Austin, Texas, but am from Portland, Oregon. I'll be traveling back to the west coast for a couple of weeks during this session and will have to get creative about keeping up with the work! I'm a little nervous about getting everything done but we'll see how it goes :)
In the previous sessions I've really loved the forum and getting to see other student's work, so I'm really looking forward to that. I also thrive with a deadline and really appreciate getting feedback on the assignments. Overall I'm pretty much looking forward to everything about this course!
