Join us at Oxley Nature Center for a workshop that will teach you how to sketch what you see in nature.

Sketching - a form of visual note taking - is an invaluable skill not only for artists, but also naturalists observing the world around them. Field sketches are simple drawings done while on location, and either used a reference for more detailed renderings later, or drawn in a field journal used to document sightings and identify specimens. This field-sketching workshop is designed to teach how to emphasize the essential elements of your subjects.

We will draw along the scenic trails of Oxley Nature Center in Mohawk Park, capturing both still subjects (seed pods, leaves, tree shapes, etc.) and moving subjects (birds, squirrels, insects, etc.) in our sketchbooks and journals.

All skill levels are welcome to come sketch this fascinating subject matter in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

Supplies:
__ pack a lunch
__ good walking shoes and proper attire 
     for walking in the woods
__ sketchbook or journal 
     (any comfortable type of sketchbook will do)
__ pencil with eraser
__ bottle/canteen of water
