Field sketching is a fun portable pursuit that can become a lifetime avocation. During our morning in the magnificent Elizabethan Gardens, we will learn about observing, taking visual notes quickly, shapes found in nature, and tips for drawing plants. This class is designed for participants 16 and older. Supplies are provided. We recommend that you bring a hat for shade, comfortable clothing, outdoor shoes, sunscreen, insect repellant, and a portable chair or camp stool that you can carry comfortably.
