Workshop Description: 
This plein air (outside) nature drawing workshop focuses on drawing marine organisms found at low tide. Take a little time to slow down from this fast-paced world and discover the joy of paying close attention to nature as you draw. Natasha van Netten, the instructor, will begin the workshop with an introduction to observational drawing, safe handling of organisms, drawing techniques and present the drawing projects. Have fun
exploring the inter-tidal zone while you search for interesting specimens to draw. You might just be surprised by the discoveries you will make while closely observing intertidal creatures.

Suitable for all skill levels.

For this workshop, participants are required to bring basic supplies that can be found at home. Please reference the Supply List (upon registration) for a complete list of what you should bring to be prepared for this workshop.
