Specimen Painting Class - 11/13
✶ Thursday November 13th from 6pm - 8:30pm(ish) ✶
In this 2.5 hour guided art session students will paint a specimen of their choosing with acrylic paint. This may include a plant from Leaf & Quiet, a native mushroom species, butterfly wing, moss, lichen or small bone foraged from the local forest or a combination of the lot. The class will begin with traditional scientific illustration techniques including a focus on color theory to create natural tones and tricks for painting light and shadow when portraying an organic subject. This class is a little longer to allow plenty of time to study and paint your chosen subject, choose your own background color, add labels, or have fun and add the moon or stars and other whimsical details. This class will be beginner oriented but all skill levels are welcome to attend. By the end of the class you will go home with a finished roughly 6 x 8 inch unique scientific illustration of your own.
All art supplies will be provided including loose canvas, paint, brushes, glass palettes and water but please feel free to bring your own nature journal, sketchbook, preferred supplies.
