About the art instructor:

Dr. Julius Csotonyi is a Vancouver-based scientific illustrator and natural history fine artist. He has a scientific background in ecology (MSc) and microbiology (PhD) which has taken him to study sensitive ecosystems, from sand dunes in the Rocky Mountain parks to hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

These experiences have fuelled a strong resolve to work toward preserving the earth’s biota. Painting biological subjects is one means that he uses to both enhance public awareness of biological diversity and to motivate concern for its welfare.

He paints murals and panels that have appeared in numerous museums (e.g. the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History), press release images for scientific publications, books, stamp sets (e.g. the 2018 “Sharks of Canada” set for Canada Post), and coins for the Royal Canadian Mint. His work is viewable on his online gallery, csotonyi.com

Some student work shared with permission from Monday Makings .. an art lesson with a focus on understanding tonal values and effective use of negative space. Using 'simple' subject matter helps the student to understand the play of light and the importance of using the full range of tonal values. We also discussed ways to translate a photographic subject to painting. Inspiration photo credit photos.com/featured/red-tulip-
