Drawing and painting from nature are relaxing and uplifting activities
which connect observation, contemplation, inspiration and personal
growth. This course is for adults interested in experiencing nature as an
avenue for art and self-expression while developing drawing and painting
skills. Basic tools, materials and techniques will be demonstrated and
students will be free to experiment with color media of their choice,
including watercolor, color pencils, pastel, and acrylic. We will spend
part of each class looking at examples of various artists methods of
creating images based on the observation of the natural world. When the
weather is fine we can work outdoors on the beautiful grounds of the
Museum. In case of rain there will be still life objects provided by the
instructor or students can bring their own. Everyone will be encouraged
to find their own individual mode of expression, from realism to
abstraction. Ample one-on-one attention will be provided as well as group
critiques in a supportive atmosphere. Beginners and all levels
welcome.<br>
<br>
For the first class, bring 2B pencils, soft vine charcoal, a kneaded
eraser and a 9x12 (or larger) sketchbook. Those wishing to use color
media must provide their own materials, including a portable easel for
painting outdoors.<br>
