Watercolor Insects: Explore & Paint Insects From the Gardens

Join us as we explore beneficial and invasive bugs from our gardens, then paint them with watercolors.
About this Event

Insects are everywhere—1.4 million for every person on Earth—yet many remain misunderstood. Are wasps pests or essential helpers? How do bees sustain our food supply? And are ladybugs truly nature's best pesticide? We will also discuss a few non-insects, such as spiders, earthworms, and nematodes.

We will then paint insects - a butterfly, ladybug, beetle and bee template will be provided.

We will also have some painted and decorative papers to potentially collage as well.

Materials Provided:

  • Printed insects images and magazines
  • 5" x 7" drawing paper
  • Pencils & pens
  • Rulers & straight edges
  • Tracing paper
  • Graphite paper
  • Graphite pencils
  • Drafting & Washi tape
  • Watercolor supplies
  • Watercolor paper
  • Color Wheel

As always, please bring along your own favorite supplies if you have any!

Children above 14 must be accompanied by a guardian.
