Dear Fellow Naturalists and Artists,
 
We'd like to invite you to help us "Celebrate Native Plant Appreciation Week" by sharing with your members the following information about two exciting opportunities.
 
On Friday, April 19th
 
The Northeast Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society (WNPS) and the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture (MAC) will present the Art of Science: Botanical Illustration Past and Present.
 
Join us for an afternoon of science and art at the MAC. 

 - 3pm, join local author, teacher and naturalist, Jack Nisbet (http://jacknisbet.com/) on a narrated walk through of the exhibit he curated for the MAC, 'David Douglas; A Naturalist at Work'. 

 - 4pm, enjoy a drink and light snacks during a reception showcasing Jack's published works and the botanical art of noted Lopez Island artist Dr. Linda Ann Vorobik (http://www.vorobikbotanicalart.com/). 

 - 5pm, hear Jack and Linda pair their talents to discuss the historical and modern importance of botanical illustration. 
Combined event (exhibit, reception, lecture)         $25 advance     $30 day of event, (pending availability)

(Note: space for the exhibit walk is limited).
 
 
On Saturday and Sunday, April 20th and 21st  
 
Prepare for spring wildflowers!  The Northeast Chapter of the WNPS is pleased to offer a two-day workshop with Dr. Linda Ann Vorobik at Turnbull Laboratory for Ecological Studies, Cheney WA
 
Learn the basics of creating botanical illustrations from professional botanist, botanical illustrator, and teacher, Dr. Linda Ann Vorobik. All skill levels are welcome: accomplished artists can increase their knowledge of botany and skilled botanists learn drawing and painting techniques.
 
Day 1: Introductions and demonstrations followed by supervised drawing to create pencil drafts for watercolors; later in the morning pen & ink supplies are described and techniques are demonstrated. The afternoon consists of lecture/demonstrations on watercolor supplies and techniques followed by drawing and painting time.
 
Day 2: The second day includes more demonstrations followed by supervised drawing and painting. The workshop closes with a friendly critique of works produced.
Cost for this two-day workshop is $150 (lunches included). Please reserve your space by downloading a workshop registration form at www.nechapterwnps.org
We look forward to sharing these events with you!
Sincerely,
Robin O'Quinn, WNPS member
