In this July 12 workshop at the Art + Science in the Field studio at 53 East Street in Petersham, Massachusetts, we will use graphite pencil, ink pen, and color pencil to learn accurate drawing techniques for microscopic images. Microscope is 8x to 320x and we will capture your images with photos and work from those. We will have a wide array of natural materials to choose from including botany slides, insect wings, seeds, mushroom spores, etc. You might want to explore Brooks Woodland Preserve across the street before the workshop, to collect biological materials to draw. Parking for the workshop is available along the roadside across the street on East Street, and also along Oliver Street.
No previous experience required and all materials provided. However, it will be helpful to bring a laptop if you have one. We will capture microscopic images and you can draw from those visual references on your computer screen.
Instructor Nancy Lowe is an artist, naturalist and eductor. If you have questions, email sciencecandance@gmail.com. $75. Register through Eventbrite HERE
