On Thursdays through June 29, 2023 – The Nature Drawing Class is an opportunity to look at Blithewold’s gardens for inspiration to draw.  Working from pictures and found natural objects, the class will focus on how to render color, texture, and design in flora and landscape.

Each week a different topic will be covered and lessons in various drawing tools and techniques will be covered. The main medium will be colored pencils.

Students may bring their own art pencils but drawing pencils and paper will be provided. Beginning, intermediate and advanced students are encouraged to attend.
