Create images of nature scenes, landscapes, wildlife and florals using combinations of watercolor, ink pens, acrylics, and soft pastels as you improve your drawing and observational skills. The class will include weekly demonstrations by the instructor as well as individual instruction at each student’s level of ability, but it is suggested that students already have basic drawing skills. We will be working from reference photos in addition to some still life arrangements set up in the studio.
