Nature Watercolor Workshop

This is a two-day workshop: Saturdays, April 23 & 30

Explore basic watercolor painting with a two-day workshop. Created for beginning and intermediate level painters looking for an afternoon with other bird, wildlife, and nature enthusiasts. This workshop introduces simple techniques while exploring elements of nature and wildlife found at the Center. Participants progress at their own pace with instructor guidance, typically completing one to two projects. Please bring a bag lunch.

Instructor José Acevedo uses art to explore the natural world, and finds inspiration in the birds, fish, and wildlife of the Midwest. His watercolor paintings use a combination of transparent watercolor paints and inks. Acevedo is also a self-taught wood carver. His hand-painted wood carvings of native Wisconsin birds, fish, and wildlife are featured at local businesses, including Schlitz Audubon and Boerner Botanical Gardens.

This program will take place indoors or outdoors (weather permitting). Please read our current mask policy before participation.

Fee is for both sessions and does not include materials. A supply list will be sent to all participants after registration.
