Jean Mackay – Sketching Through the Winter (Recording) – Free!

Date recorded: December 18, 2020

Don’t let the cold months ahead dampen your sketching habits. Grab your sketchbook and join Jean Mackay for inspiration and techniques for sketching both inside and out throughout the winter. Jean will begin by presenting ideas for winter subjects and then invite you to sketch and paint along to practice techniques for working outside in the cold. Bring a few things you’d like to sketch, pencil or pen, watercolors, and your sketchbook. No jacket or gloves required.

Jean Mackay is an artist, educator, and naturalist. She has been keeping an artist journal for more than nearly 20 years a way to study and share the beauty and diversity of nature, as well as to record the art of everyday living. Working in all kinds of settings, from tide pools to farm fields to her own backyard, Jean’s journals reflect a keen eye for detail and profound sense of wonder. Jean teaches at the Hog Island Audubon Camp in Maine and at the Art School of Columbia County in New York. Her blog, Drawn In, shares the ordinary, yet extraordinary things that she encounters close to home and farther afield. www.jeanmackayart.com
