For centuries, watercolor has been the portable medium of choice for artists working in the field. Come join scientific illustrator Katherine Brown-Wing at the Mildred Morse Allen Wildlife Sanctuary as she demonstrates techniques for capturing stream and vernal pool landscapes using watercolor. Information on the flora and fauna of each habitat will be provided as well as painting techniques specific to each landscape. In addition to watercolor instruction, topics covered will include observation and sketching, use of light and color, and organization of materials in the field. Wildflower Walk Sunday, May 20, 1-3 p.m.
All ages welcome.
Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Come explore the trails of the Sanctuary in search of native wildflowers. Depending on the interest of the group, we may look at other types of plants such as flowering shrubs, lichens and potentially an early mushroom. Information on field identification techniques, characteristics, history and environmental protection of these flowers will be included. Bring binoculars, camera, or field guides if desired.
