Understory Alphabetica is an ongoing artist’s book project that documents the forest floor one letter at a time—R for Resinous Polypore, C for Chicken of the Woods. This two-day workshop brings that project to the RAL campus. Participants walk the Henlopen Acres woodland until a specimen earns their attention, research it, then spend two days learning to draw and paint it with Micron pen and watercolor. Day One focuses on observation, research, and ink mark-making; Day Two introduces watercolor as a tool for describing form. Participants leave with one finished naturalist’s spread and the method to continue the book independently. All 26 letters are waiting.
