This workshop is great for ages 9 and up, (Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult).

We'll learn about the tradition of explorer's sketchbooks throughout history, and how scientists, artists, and explorers were one and the same. Students will start by learning to mix colors of natural specimens with watercolor pencil, and advance to learning techniques for traditional "dip pens" and ink.

By the workshop's end, you'll have unique watercolor pencil and ink illustrations of your adventures (both real and imagined) and an understanding of how to capture the colors of the Maine coastline.
