In this unique session, participants will get an up-close look at insect specimens from the New York State Museum’s collections and learn directly from State Entomologist Dr. Timothy McCabe. Discover the fascinating details of form, color, and structure before translating what you see into your own artwork. After an engaging introduction to the specimens, artist and educator Audrea Din will guide a short demonstration on color mixing and shadow techniques to help bring your subjects to life. Then, it’s your turn—experiment with watercolor and/or gouache as you create your own insect-inspired masterpiece. We’ll wrap up by gathering together for a friendly group critique, where participants can share their work, exchange ideas, and celebrate the creative process. All materials are provided—just bring your curiosity and creativity! Open to participants ages 13+.
