MARVELLOUS MOTHS MATTER - Illustrating Moths in Pen & Ink
Saturdays 29th March, 5th & 12th April - 3 session course
3-5pm (UK time)
THIS COURSE IS NOW FULL
Marvellous Moths Matter is a newly created online course that will immerse you into the amazing world of moths. They are not the drab brown insects that you may think they are, but can come in array of colours and sizes. They play essential roles within ecosystems, and like many animals are at extreme risk from climate change and habitat loss.
We can play our part though, by learning more about and understanding what we can do for them in many ways, from what plants to choose for our gardens and/or observing species during monitoring programmes, often lead by conservation organisations.
Why not get started on that journey by learning to illustrate them? This course will take you through every stage, initially using structured drawing techniques to portray species in an accurate and detailed way; then moving on to illustrating them in pen and ink and building up your memory bank of mark-making techniques; then finally to adding colour using watercolour OR colour pencil.
An essential part of the course is accessing additional learning resources and receiving feedback on an online platform that course participants will have access to. An extensive image library will be included within this. Full guidance will be given on the use of the online platform prior to the course starting.
This course is suitable for those with some experience in detailed drawing techniques. Can be new to drawing in pen and ink or have some experience.
