Sketching in the Garden
In this class, we'll work on cultivating our observational skills and artistic talent with inspiration from the Alan Chadwick Garden. Starting with a short presentation about a variety of approaches to field sketching and journaling, we'll take a look at several different examples of how to create a successful sketchbook page composition. After an overview of materials, techniques, and a quick demo, we'll head out into the garden to draw! Instructor will be on hand to help guide our garden artists when needed with composition, technique, or direction.
