Workshop Description:
In this weeklong workshop at Madeline Island School of Art, we’ll explore the vibrant, seasonal plant life of Madeline Island and the surrounding shores to create handmade watercolor paints. Through foraging and working with cultivated dye plants, students will learn to extract dye, precipitate lake pigments, and bind botanical color into rich, archival-quality watercolor paints. The class includes daily painting sessions focused on plant illustration, color swatching, and cataloging.
You’ll leave with your own custom, handmade watercolor set, a collection of painted botanical studies, and a printed booklet of recipes and mulling techniques to support your continued exploration of sustainable, earth-centered artmaking.
