Join us for an engaging Introduction to Scientific Illustration, where you’ll learn to capture the intricate beauty of nature through drawing. Led by Nikoline Bohr, this class offers a unique opportunity to explore the different specimens in the Maria Mitchell Association's Scientific Collections, using real specimens as your reference for accurate and artistic illustration.
Whether you’re an aspiring illustrator, a nature enthusiast, or simply looking to try something new, this hands-on workshop will guide you through the process of observing and illustrating plants, animals, and other natural subjects with precision and creativity. You’ll develop essential skills in sketching, shading, and adding color, while learning the fundamentals of scientific illustration in a relaxed and supportive environment.
Come and discover how art and science beautifully intersect, and leave with your own stunning nature illustrations inspired by the Maria Mitchell Association’s fascinating scientific collections!
