LIVE RECORDING – ADVANCED ACANTHUS DESIGN
$55
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to construct and draw elegant acanthus leaf designs by breaking them down into simple, structured forms. Starting from the basics of lobe design, you’ll explore how acanthus is built and how each element contributes to flow, rhythm, and overall composition.
You’ll understand how to use structure as a foundation and then refine it into detailed ornamental forms. The session covers straight, curved, and folded acanthus variations, along with step-by-step processes for building complete acanthus designs in both vertical and horizontal formats. You’ll also learn how to add depth through shading, develop clean connections using ornamental knots, and bring everything together into a finished design with highlights and detailing.
THE LIVE WORKSHOP IS OVER, BUT YOU CAN STILL ACCESS THE RECORDING AND LEARN FROM IT.
