I\u2019ve gained a great deal of satisfaction from completing the course and do feel my work has improved because of it, with many thanks going to my tutor, Lynette Conway, for her help and advice.<\/p>\n<p>Lynette was tremendously encouraging throughout, so much to say that I am now making a start on Botanical Illustration 2 Certificate course.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-695\" title=\"botanical-illustration5\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"755\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-694\" title=\"botanical-illustration4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"755\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-693\" title=\"botanical-illustration3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"246\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-692\" title=\"botanical-illustration2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"454\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-691\" title=\"botanical-illustration1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"454\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-690\" title=\"botanical-illustration\" src=\"http:\/\/www.london-artcollege.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/botanical-illustration.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"538\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theresa Smith has just undertaken the Botanical Course one and is hoping now to move onto the second botanical course.
