Wilder Places | Learn scientific and botanical illustration techniques with artist Misha Donohoe.
What do we remember about ourselves in wild places? Join artist-in-residence Misha Donohoe for an expansive workshop on collaborating with natural systems through art. Misha Donohoe is an Australian-Canadian based artist working primarily in watercolour. Misha’s practice connects with the tradition of scientific illustration.
This workshop will guide participants on the methods of field sketching using techniques of scientific and botanical illustration. Together we will explore ways that natural phenomena can be represented in science and art and expand these methods to create intimate representational studies of our experiences. As we build our impressions of the landscape environment en plein air, we are collaborating with spaces that shape and change us. Knowing this can inform the way we grow as artists.
