If you’ve had a chance to see Lucy Martin’s beautiful Heron Hall art exhibit “Microcosms: A Closer Look at Mushrooms and Lichen” (on display through August 29), you know that Lucy’s artwork is all about close observation.

Join Lucy to learn about her painting technique. She uses gouache, which is similar to watercolor, but more opaque. Gouache technique is quite different from watercolor technique. You will learn some of the techniques Lucy uses to produce her very detailed paintings of bark, leaves, lichens, moss and oak galls.
