Illustrating Shells and Other Marine Specimens

  • The Lyceum of Monterey County 1073 Sixth Street Monterey, CA 93940 USA (map)

Students will create marine illustrations by using specimens and other reference materials on hand. If you have shells or any other beach-finds at home, you are welcome to bring them to use as a reference!

We will focus on scientific accuracy, attention to detail and color matching. Students will use graphite, ink, colored pencil and watercolor to create the illustrations.

Each student will take home several sketches and illustrations of their own making!

For all skill levels.
