Participants will begin the day in our Studio Classroom with a discussion and guided tutorial of nature illustration and journaling techniques from Catherine, followed by unstructured time to wander the trails, fields, and gardens and practice in journals and sketchbooks. The workshop will close with a final group reflection. Tea and hot chocolate provided. Participants must provide their own sketchbooks/journals. About the Instructor Catherine Hamilton holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Bennington College. She taught painting and drawing at RISD from 1997-2003 and has taught at other institutions and programs (Bennington College, Mass College of Art, Mass Audubon) throughout the 25 years she has been a professional artist. For the last several years she has been traveling and birding full time, leading wildlife tours, and serving as a US Ambassador for ZEISS Nature Observation. Working out of wildlife refuges, urban environments, research stations, and museum collections, Catherine has been following birds primarily through North, Central, and South America, making drawings and paintings. Her fine art can be found in private, corporate, and small museum collections in the US and abroad. Her bird illustrations can be found in publications like the recent Princeton University Press book “The Warbler Guide,” and in journals and magazines such as “Nature,” “Bird Observer,” and “Orion Magazine.” Catherine was also featured in the 2012 HBO documentary “Birders: the Central Park Effect.” Venue Guidelines The Norman Bird Sanctuary is a nonprofit wildlife sanctuary and environmental education center.
