Join a DNS Naturalist / Artist to celebrate Colorado Public Lands Day by exploring the beauty and complexity of our local plant life through drawing and sketching. Sharpen your observational senses with a creative practice that will connect you to nature in a focused and intimate experience. A 20-30 minute group lesson regarding basic techniques of mark-making will be followed by a 90 minute “free draw” during which the instructor will offer one-on-one instruction to participants. All skill levels welcome. Please bring your own dry media (graphite, charcoal, pastels, conte crayon, etc.) and substrate (paper, sketchbook, wood, canvas, art panel).
