INSTRUCTOR:

Spend time celebrating the largest group of living organisms known to science: beetles! In this two-part workshop, we will honor this ancient order of insects as we observe, draw, and paint simple yet beautiful compositions.

The first session will focus on their incredible exoskeletons, compound eyes, and intricate antennae. Techniques for creating quick, realistic, and elegant drawings will be covered. In the second session, we will bring our drawings to life using brilliant colors, voluminous shading, and purposeful highlights as we each work toward creating a finished piece.

All levels are welcome.

What to bring:

• Pencil

• Pencil sharpener

• Ruler

• Watercolor paper (at least 8x10)

• Eraser

• Container of water

• Paints (acrylic or watercolor)

• Paintbrushes (At least three sizes so you can add a quick wash and finite details. Instructor will likely use round paintbrushes, numbers: 6, 2, 0, & 000.)

• Palette (From a couple of plastic lids to an official painter’s palette.)

• Artist’s tape

• Work surface that you can tape your page to (Preferably a board that you can rotate and store for safekeeping.)

• Black and white colored pencils (Prismacolor brand pencils are ideal, and additional percentages of gray might also be useful.)

• Rags or paper towels

• Reference images (Just prior to the workshop, you will receive an email with reference images. You can either select and print two of the supplied images or use a couple of your own.)

• Any additional supplies that you might like to bring
