Dolores
R. Santoliquido will present
"Painting Butterflies and Moths with Acrylic and Color Pencil" during
the morning sessions. Participants will first learn the step-by-step
process of accurately
rendering
these delicate subjects, how to apply alternate layers of color pencil
and acrylic paint to create transparent color-saturated surfaces,
and learn how to utilize this knowledge to illustrate the jewel-like
delicacy of butterflies and moths. Through discussion, demonstration
and practice participants will learn how to capture the rich colors
and textures of these creatures. The instructor will supply specimens
for participants to
use during this workshop. |

The Humboldt Field Research Institute and Eagle Hill Foundation (back to top) The Humboldt Field Research Institute, named after the 19th century natural scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, is located on the densely forested summit of Eagle Hill, in the highest part of Dyer Point, one of a number of peninsulas along the southeastern coast of Maine. In close collaboration with the Eagle Hill Foundation, the Institute has offered a wide array of advanced and professional-level natural history field seminars, residencies, apprenticeships, and retreats since 1987. Plus, the Institute features an extensive natural history library! The Institute exists within a fringe of boreal forest that extends along the coast from Arcadia National Park into Canada, dominated by spruce and fir, with a mix of maple, birch, and other tree species. A short distance from the Institute by way of a network of trails, an unusually rich variety of essentially pristine habitats can be found, including marine habitats, marshes, fens, raised bogs, extensive forested lands, and many lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. To the immediate west is the Schoodic Point section of Acadia National Park. To the immediate east is Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge. And, geologically, this area of Maine is of special interest since it is one of the world's best examples of a landscape reworked by glaciers 18,000 years ago.
