Events for July 19, 2025
Drawing from Nature: Pollinators and Good Garden Bugs
JULY 19 - We will begin this second class of our Drawing from Nature Series by exploring the summer wildflowers blooming in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ meadow. While outside, we’ll look closely at the diversity of pollinators visiting these blossoms and discuss identification techniques. Then, we’ll bring our references (both photos and specimens) indoors to experiment with brushstrokes and color. We will spend the rest of the workshop creating images in our nature journals.
