Canberra🦋 Moths & Butterflies in Watercolour
with Anna Voytsekhovich
About the workshop
Join scientist and illustrator Anna Voytsekhovich for a focused, immersive weekend exploring the beauty and complexity of moths and butterflies through watercolour.
Across two days, you’ll learn about insect anatomy, ecology, and morphology, alongside practical illustration skills. Anna will guide you step by step through drawing, scaling, composition, and transferring your work to paper, before building colour, pattern, and texture in watercolour.
This workshop is designed to gently demystify scientific illustration. By the end of the weekend, you’ll have the skills and confidence to complete a detailed, scientifically accurate watercolour illustration of a moth or butterfly of your choice.
Participants will also have two weeks after the workshop to finish their painting and submit it to Anna for individual feedback.
What you’ll learn
🦋 Key facts about moth and butterfly anatomy, ecology, and morphology
🦋 Techniques for painting colour, pattern, and complex textures in watercolour
🦋 How to create a scientifically accurate sketch and finished illustration
🦋 A clear, repeatable process you can apply to future natural history subjects
Experience level
Suitable for beginner to intermediate students with some drawing and watercolour experience.
Materials
A detailed materials list will be provided to participants after booking and prior to the workshop.
