Alpine Botanicals: A Plant Illustration Retreat in Winter Park, Colorado is a guided art and hiking experience hosted by Colorado Mountain Expeditions in collaboration with artist and illustrator Marjorie Leggitt. This retreat is designed for illustrators
who want to improve their ability to observe, understand, and accurately draw plants through focused field study in Colorado’s mountain environments.
Teaching takes place primarily in the field and is grounded in drawing directly from living plants. Participants will focus on understanding form, proportion, line, and detail through repeated observation and practice. Instruction combines group guidance, demonstrations, and individual feedback, with Marjorie working closely with participants throughout the day to support individual development. Evening group critique sessions provide opportunities to review work, ask questions, and connect field studies to longer-term artistic development.
