Rob Hughes
I am a relative beginner at botanical illustration. I studied the Certificate in Botanical Illustration in 2023 with the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, then the Advanced Certificate the following year, and was extremely grateful to receive a Distinction on both courses. In the meantime, I continue to practise, occasionally covering marine life too, as I live close to the sea.
