Your teacher - artist AMY C. DUNCAN
Amy C. Duncan is a painter, tattoo artist and botanical illustrator. She has been making art professionally for 20 years, primarily focusing on botanical and natural history subjects made with traditional media.

She is passionate about drawing from life as a discipline and a way of seeing that can become lost when we only draw from photographs.
