Painting in Watercolor: Groupings of Maine Plants in Habitat

When studying plants in their natural habitats, collecting field information accurately and quickly is important. After finding a subject in the field, students will learn to collect information by sketching, painting, and photographing in order to compose accurate and beautiful groupings of Maine plants to complete in the classroom. Each microlandscape should impart a real sense of place, while also serving as a botanical portrait. A historical overview of botanical portraiture and microlandscapes will be discussed. This will give participants a perspective which will help them in developing compositions for their own watercolor paintings.
