Drawing Nature Course with Alison Watt begins November 12
November 12 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Have you always wanted to learn to draw and to keep a nature journal?
Alison Watt is offering this course in support of Raincoast Conservation Foundation.
Drawing Nature includes three live Zoom demos, plus notes on materials and techniques. It is designed to help you jump into drawing and painting nature. You will learn some simple techniques to help you make quick and accurate drawings. You’ll find out about different materials: pencils, pens, pencil crayons, and watercolour, to bring your drawings to life. Plants, shells, bones, feathers, stones, trees and clouds—they can all be captured in quick sketches. Not only is drawing a wonderful way to be “in the moment” but a vivid record of travels, hikes, or even home.
Three Wednesdays 1:00- 2:30 pm, November 12, 19, 26
