This summer, Christine will again be teaching her popular series of classes "Drawing From Nature". Each is a one day workshop focused on sketching a different group of organisms-just in time to inspire you during your upcoming summer hikes in our lovely foothills and Sierra.
Mornings will be spent learning about the behavior and anatomy of the subjects at hand, and afternoons will be spent learning about field sketching materials and how to sketch these same critters-using photographs, preserved specimens and live subjects out in the field. Each workshop will be taught out of her downtown studio in Grass Valley, California. Workshops may include special guest biologist/educators dropping in to lend their expertise. All levels of artists and artist wanna-be's are welcome!Bring your own lunch, or enjoy lunch at one of many fine local restaurants.
Fees for the 10am-4pm workshops are $75 for adults and a special discount price of just $25 for children age 10-16 accompanied by an adult participant. All art materials and class handouts are included.
