Artist and educator Erica Beade will introduce techniques for achieving more accuracy, volume, and texture in drawings while a Harvard entomologist Crystal Maier will provide an overview of insects based on specimens in hand. The group will be limited to 12 participants, allowing ample time for individual feedback. All skill levels are welcome.
