Fall Back to Nature, Drawing & Painting with Betsey MacDonald
Tuesdays, October 28, November 4, 18, 25 – 9:00AM–12:00PM (4 classes)
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own”, Charles Dickens. October brings us so many things to observe and draw! We’ll study natural objects such as fall foliage, vegetables and seed pods. From acorns and apples to pumpkins and pine cones, we’ll marvel at nature’s designs and study the complexity of the life around us as we create art inspired by these objects. Our observation skills will improve as we carefully record what we observe using graphite then colored pencils and finally watercolor. This class is designed for anyone who wants to better see the beauty of nature and use their creativity to study it.
Only pencils and erasers are needed for the first class as we’ll discuss other materials as needed also please bring a magnifying glass if you have one. Materials that you may choose to use: pencils, 2B, 4B and 6B, erasers, fine point felt pen, watercolor (an inexpensive tray is fine) and brushes, colored pencils. Heavy drawing paper or mixed media paper and watercolor paper. Instructor will bring lots of materials as well.
