Sketching in the Garden

In this class, participants will work on cultivating 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 with an overview of materials, techniques, and a quick demo. All levels of experience welcome.

Materials Needed:
Sketch journal with paper suitable for wet and dry media, at least one of the following: watercolor kit/waterbrush, pencil/eraser, and/or fine-tipped ink pens such as micron pigma. For the in-person meeting, the Instructor will provide an array of sample materials if students want to try out/experiment with different media during the class.
