An 8 Week Nature Drawing Prep Instructed by Sharon Schmiedel will be held on Tuesdays 10 am to 12 noon, Mar 7 to Apr 24- 8 week class is $46. Limited space, registration required. This class is geared toward people with an interest in drawing from nature. Students will learn to see and draw the basic shapes of plants, animals and landscapes; and how to add details after they have the basic construction of the forms. We will explore combining drawing and watercolor to use for “sketching in the field” to prepare students for drawing outdoors. I will offer an outdoor field sketching course in May/June. 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.
