Painting Butterflies From Life

Learn new skills and practice watercolor painting, or develop your skills further, in this workshop with Fine Artist Miriam Baranov! We will brighten up our winter days with delicate watercolor paintings of colorful butterflies.

With guidance from Miriam, students will learn the basics of drawing and the brushstrokes used in watercolor to paint a butterfly that’s just as delicate as it is in real life. Students will model their butterfly painting from a real-life mounted preserved specimen.

Instructor: Miriam Baranov "Hello. My name is Miriam and I am a realist painter and educator who recently moved to the Columbus area. I have extensive history with watercolor and my work includes realistic portraits, illustrations and loose watercolor doodles. I love the freedom and spontaneity of watercolor. It is directly related to self-expression. There is a magical quality in the transparency and brilliancy of the medium which has had me hooked on it since day one. Every time I pick up the brush and let the water carry the pigment I learn something new, that is why this medium is so fun and exciting to teach."
