[no class Feb. 21st.] This class is geared toward people with some art experience, though newcomers are welcome. Students can choose to work solely in drawing or watercolor. Exercises will be created that work for either medium. We will also explore combining the two to use for “sketching in the field” to prepare students for drawing outdoors. We will offer an outdoor field sketching course in late Spring. To first class bring what you have for drawing and/or watercolor materials. We will go over a suggested supply list in the first class to see if you need to add anything. Call Stephanie to register. 860-434-1605, ext.204  Fee $35.00
