Sketchbooking In Nature
Class | Available (Membership Required)
In this class we’ll work on refining our artistic skills through the use of a sketchbook. We will look at other artists sketchbooks for inspiration, discuss composition techniques and how to better our sketchbook practice by asking questions and observing nature. This class will take place both in the classroom and outdoors at locations around the greater West Hartford area. Students are expected to keep a working sketchbook through the course of the class.
*Please note, you will need your own transportation to get to each location.
