In this intermediate course, there will be a teacher-led plant still-life project. Students will collect and paint their own nature objects for the last two weeks. Students will learn the art of a foundation sketch, a middle layer of watercolor, and the final stage of ink.  

Morales, Laura

Laura Morales creates illustrative images of animals, plants, landscapes, etc. She designs her own art, as well as commissions work. She travels for art shows and galleries on the east coast displaying and selling her work.

Laura developed most of these pieces using an application of an ink drawing with a watercolor finish. She used the ink outline to create the image and the watercolor to define the form. The drawing portion allows the image to be seen clearly while the color gives life to the form.

During the creating process of this body of work, Laura recalled specific instances when She had been impacted by someone. Some pieces are a reflection of her personal story while several others have been inspired by children’s books that focus on character development.
