We all need a little color and flowers right about now. Join us in a workshop to learn and practice sketching a subject. Sketching is about quickly capturing the essence of a subject as opposed to studying and recording the details. We will sketch flowers, as individuals or in a bouquet. (Who doesn’t like to look at flowers?) We’ll use pencil, pen, watercolor and gouache. If you are a sketcher please bring your work. I will bring examples, including my travel journals in which I try to sketch when not on the move.

This class is part of a Book Arts/Printmaking Mini Series. Register for one class or get a discount and take all 4 to build your skillset during the month of March!
