Three-Day Workshop Creating Art in the Park

March 29, 2010 by Tania Marien

Art in the Park: Three-Day Nature Sketching and Journaling Workshop
Saturdays April 17, May 1 and May 8
10:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Cost: $75
This workshop series offers one full day of classroom instruction at the Quarter Path Recreation Center in Williamsburg, VA and two full days of plein air drawing at Waller Mill Park.  Linda Miller, botanical artist, Virginia Master Naturalist and a new member of the Native Plant Society, will help you see, sketch, and render the natural world. She designed this workshop using a number of traditional and creative techniques so each student (regardless of their style, sensibility, and ability) will develop their own personal approach to drawing.


Materials List
:

  • All Workshops: Sketching paper or spiral journal with blank pages appropriate for pencil or watercolor; pencils (2B & H); kneaded eraser; watercolor pencils or paint (optional)
  • Field Sketching: Comfortable chair or stool, sun protection, insect repellent, camera, binoculars or magnifying glass, your favorite field guides
  • Comforts: Water, snack and lunch. Dress for the weather.

Registration closes April 14, 2010. Please register at Waller Mill Park or by calling (757) 259-3778.

This workshop is listed at Classes Near You > Virginia, complete with links to both parks and a detailed course description.
