Botanical Scientific Illustration & Observation in Pastel

July 12 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Love nature, science, and art, but don’t know where to start? Here is your opportunity to master a new skill and bring home your own environmentally-inspired masterpiece after just one class.

Learn the basics of chalk pastel and colored pencil with step-by-step instruction by a master scientific illustrator. After a nature walk to gain knowledge of local flora, apply your observations to hue composition, shading and blending techniques, color theory, mixing colors, building layers, creating a pastel palette, and more. This class is perfect for aspiring artists or creative plant lovers with no prior experience, only a passion for the arts and sciences.

Participants will have a completed art piece to take home at the conclusion of the workshop.
