Join us for an exploration of drawing skills and techniques using plants and natural forms for our subject. Many artists, even the most modern and abstract, have used plants as inspiration to explore drawing. Explore gesture, contour, and mark making, experiment with different drawing tools, and add to your drawing “tool box”. We will do studies and some longer drawings. Suitable for all levels, some drawing experience helpful.

Class minimum: 4
