Nature Watercolor Workshop

Inspiration abounds at the Center during the transitional time of autumn. This workshop is designed for beginning and intermediate watercolor students to explore the basics of watercolor painting and find inspiration in nature. Weather permitting, a portion of this class will take place outside. Dress for the weather and bring a bag lunch.

Instructor Jose 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, and his detailed and hand-painted wood carvings of native birds, fish, and wildlife are featured at local businesses, including Schlitz Audubon and Boerner Botanical Gardens.

Fee does not include materials. A supply list will be sent to all participants after registration. A camera or smartphone is recommended but not required.
