Laurel Arts is excited to take our classes to the next level with the help of Laurel Hill State Park! What to Expect: Join me for a delightfully creative mixed media art lesson capturing the fun of a butterfly walk at Laurel Hill State Park! We'll begin with a leisurely walk guided by a park ranger to find butterflies in their natural habitat. Following our walk, we'll begin by painting an abstract and expressive watercolor background for our piece. This is your chance to paint whatever you like and run wild with color, shape, and texture! Once our backdrop is complete and dry, you can follow along with my guided demonstration to how to draw a butterfly that we see on our walk. Together, we'll sketch the butterfly, and then draw it in ink over your beautifully painted background. At the end of the lesson, you will have your very own mixed media art piece that represents your unique take on a memorable summer day spotting butterflies in a scenic state park!
Meet Your Instructor: "Hi! I’m Casey, a former biologist turned artist and the owner of Samaran Selkie, my small art business dedicated to exploring the beauty of nature through creative expression. My work is inspired by my deep love for the natural world, with special emphasis on insects! To me, insects are symbols of transformation, adaptation, and resilience. By presenting these creatures in a new light, I hope to encourage a shift in perspective from what is often dismissed as tiny and unpleasant to something that is worthy of awe and admiration. In every work of art, I invite you to pause, look closer, and reflect on the vibrant life that surrounds us, especially its most delicate forms.”
