In this relaxing, beginner-friendly class, nature illustrator Rosalie Haizlett will guide students through the process of sketching and painting a wide variety of moths and butterflies (alongside their caterpillar forms!) using gouache paint on black watercolor paper. Gouache—also called opaque watercolors—is a versatile, easy-to-use medium that’s a hybrid between watercolor & acrylic.
Weather permitting, we’ll start the class with a 15-minute walk to practice making quick observational sketches from life. Students will come away with a small, finished painting and gouache painting skills to carry with them into the future. All materials are provided!
This program is suitable for adults (18+) and children ages 10 or older, if accompanied by an adult.
