Nature Drawing & Painting

Join local artists to explore the arts. Record the natural world with field sketching and painting. Try several mediums, including watercolor pencils, oil pastels, and watercolors. We begin the class indoors to learn all about the supplies and techniques. We will bring the class outdoors or stay in the classroom to create, depending on the weather. Rain or shine, this will be a fun class full of creativity and freedom of expression. Experience drawing and painting while learning about composition, brush handling, color mixing, and more. Your creativity is encouraged—preregistration is required, so don’t miss out!
