"Field at Long Lane Farm" watercolor
Saturdays in March (5th, 12th, 19th, 26th) Time: 1 – 3 pm
Explore nature as we work indoors from real subjects and photos. Share my field sketchbooks from England and New York. Learn ‘drawing from life’ techniques that will help you next time you are out in nature and want to capture something on paper. Work in your field sketchbook using real nature objects as we learn how to draw and paint them. Learn how to use pencil, color pencil, watercolor pencil and watercolor in creative ways to embellish your sketchbook pages. Adults and mature young students are welcome. We will occasionally sketch and learn in the park if weather permits.

Oh how I wish I lived close enough to go to one of your classes Mary! I have not forgotten I owe you an e-mail. Life keeps getting in the way! xxoo
Hi Marie!
I wish you lived close enough too, it’d be so much fun to have you in class, but I wish you lived closer so we could sample each others baking!! heehee…would we really need the extra calories? 😉 I’ll be adding posts to give tips as I prepare more for classes. Please send me an email, would love to talk more about what’s up in our lives. hugs to you too! OO
Looks like such fun – love the snail painting!
Cheers,
Cindy
Thanks Cindy, wish you could come! I had a lot of fun studying that snail, became a pet for the summer, never saw a garden snail grow so fast…he was WELL fed!
