Beachcombing and Brushes: Painting Beach Finds

About the workshop:

Join local artist and naturalist Allison Donohue for a fun class painting and drawing shells, seaweed, rocks and other finds from our shores. You can use items from Allison’s collection, or bring your own beach treasure to work with. You’ll learn how to accurately draw your finds in pencil and pen, and then use simple brushstrokes to add color. This workshop is appropriate for adults at all levels of art experience. All materials will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

About the instructor:

Allison works in oils, acrylics and watercolors, and can often be found painting from her canoe in the wilds of Maine. She is passionate about connecting people to the natural world through art. In addition to her work in fine art, she studies natural science illustration through the Yale Peabody Museum, and spends her free time volunteering as a Maine Master Naturalist.
