Due to popular demand, artist and art educator, Eve Aspinwall returns 
to the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster for a fall 
session of Drawing and Painting from Nature.

Connecting to nature through art is a relaxing and uplifting activity 
that ties together 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.

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.

If you have questions about class content please email the instructor
