Each year the Guild of Natural
Science Illustrators sponsors a summer workshop, an intensive one or two
week course in which the methods and materials used in natural science
illustration are taught. Although open to individuals of all levels of
experience, one of the primary goals of the workshop is to refine and
expand the skills participants have previously acquired in art and science
courses and to direct them toward the production of illustrations for
publication. Professional illustrators, all specialists in particular
fields, teach, demonstrate and critique a variety of techniques and subjects.
The workshop is moved to different regions of the United States on an
irregular basis. Class size varies, but is usually limited to 12 to 25
participants. Acceptance is based on the merit of 15-20 pieces, submitted
as a slide portfolio, usually due around April 1st of each year. Evenings
frequently can include guest lectures, drawing on your own, or socializing
and relaxing. Skills taught at the 1996 workshop included:
