Winter lays open the beautiful, intricate structure holding up the natural world. Learning to draw the naked details is like taking an anatomy class of the outdoor living skeletons. It is also a great time to bundle up sometimes and create your own nature sketchbooks! (Or to stay inside with hot cocoa and draw from selected reference photos!) Kathleen will support, guide, and entertain as you gain confidence in using the structural drawing basics of art.

This class is great for beginners or for students who wish to develop their skills. Kathleen loves working with students of different levels and will make sure each student has the help and challenges appropriate to encourage their own growth.
