About the workshop:
In this hands-on workshop, Dr. Lindsay Marshall will guide participants through the art and science of crustacean illustration using acrylic paints on watercolour paper. As a world-renowned fisheries biologist and natural history artist, Lindsay brings a unique perspective to this workshop, merging scientific accuracy with artistic expression.
The workshop will begin with an overview of the main morphological features of crustaceans, providing participants with a foundation for their illustrations. Lindsay will demonstrate various painting techniques, explaining the nuances in capturing the intricate details of crustaceans through art. Crustacean drawing subjects will be sourced from the local fish market.
Participants will learn how to create an initial sketch of their chosen crustacean, understanding the key elements to include in their composition. Lindsay will then guide them in transferring their sketches onto watercolour paper, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and attention to detail. There will also be an option to use pre-made sketch templates in order to focus most of your time on learning the painting techniques.
This workshop encourages participants to unleash their creativity while staying true to the scientific essence of crustacean illustration. Students will have dedicated time to work on their pieces, with Lindsay providing personalized feedback.
