Insect Illustation | Wild Oakland Walks

Bring your drawing supplies along for an insect illustration workshop.

Tim Manolis is a naturalist and professional scientific illustrator who has illustrated three books in the California Natural History Guides series.

Tim will go over some insect illustration basics, then with the help of the Insect Sciences Museum of California (ISMC) you’ll catch live insects in the Lakeside gardens to observe and draw. They’ll release the insects at the end of the walk; no bugs will be harmed in the making of the sketches.

Bring along drawing supplies, a hat, water, and snacks. Nets, loupes (magnifiers), and clear collection containers (i.e. baby food jars) are good to bring if you have them, but the ISMC will also be bringing some along to share.

Meet at noon in front of the Rotary Nature Center at Lake Merritt.
