SUMMARY:Watercolor Winter Birds
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Bushwick Inlet Park Community Center for an afternoon of drawing and painting with watercolors. \nRequired registration. \nSome birds live in New York City year-round while others migrate here just for the winter. Join Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park in the Park community center for a relaxed\, adult-focused program that blends fascinating bird science with an encouraging\, hands-on drawing & watercolor lesson. \n\n\n\nThis class will cover the basics of observing and drawing birds and how to transform sketches into a finished watercolor painting. Through a series of short\, follow-along demonstrations\, skills will be introduced which are useful for sketching from nature\, keeping a nature journal\, or beginning a more in-depth watercolor practice focused on birds. \nScientific illustrator Monica Schroeder will guide you through: \n\nSketching birds in multiple positions\nA brief\, artist-friendly overview of bird anatomy\nWatercolor fundamentals and brush techniques\nUsing color (instead of black) to create light and shadow\nThe “mother color” technique for a more natural\, cohesive look\n\nAfter the guided lesson\, there will be time to work on your own individual project with personalized support. \nAdults and teens (accompanied by an adult) are welcome. \nAll materials are provided\, though participants are welcome to bring their own supplies if preferred. \nMaterials include: \n\nWatercolor paints\, palettes\, and brushes\nWatercolor and/or mixed-media paper\nDrawing tools\n\nSome printed reference materials will be provided or bring your own pictures to paint if desired. Imaginary birds welcome also!
