Occasionally I teach classes indoors that cover many subjects from foundation drawing, watercolor and watercolor pencil, nature sketching using collected finds and photos. I’ll add pages here as I develop them.  I’ve taught lots of classes over the years so it’ll be fun adding pictures!

6. Lectures and Demonstrations:

I give lectures and demonstrations about nature sketching in the field.  I show my personal sketchbooks, art supplies used in the field, how I carry things and demonstrate some basic drawing techniques.  I always talk about my travels and things I’ve drawn while out exploring. I’ve given this Lecture at The Iroquois Nature Reserve and at several Retirement Villages, it’s been very highly praised and welcomed!

I LOVE talking about and sharing what I do! Contact me for rates to talk to your group!
