Spring '27
Purple Hellebore in Transylvania

Stacks Image 93

Only 2 of 4 places remain

24-30 April

Join my fifth trip to Transylvania school of botanic art & illustration.

Above the Saxon village of Copșa Mare, in central Romania we shall find clumps of Helleborus purpurescens. I have long been in love with drawing and painting Hellebores. Studying them in their natural habitat will be a very special treat. Our studies will form the basis of a small watercolour painting.
