Featuring beautiful insect displays, from the rarely seen insect taxidermy collection, this program is perfect for aspiring artists and entomologists alike. Taught by a professional entomological illustrator, this workshop will begin with a scientific presentation on insects before transitioning to the painting portion. Using the Museum’s taxidermy collections as references, participants will learn the basics of watercolor and sketching with step-by-step instruction.

No prior experience required. Participants will have a completed art piece to take home at the conclusion of the workshop.
