June 21, 2022: The Promise of Summer
Kickoff summer on the longest day of the year with a focus on sketching throughout this colorful season. This session will focus on possibilities for summer subjects, colors, and layouts and will include a demo/paint along of a robin’s nest with eggs.
July 19, 2022: Sketching Garden Flowers
Learn to look for and render basic flower shapes from a variety of perspectives. We’ll also practice painting leaves and stems, with an eye toward mixing fresh greens and adding shadows. This session will include a demo/paint along of a summer flower garden montage.
August 2, 2022: Making a Vacation Map
Capture your travels with a vacation map. We’ll review parts of a map, discuss ways to incorporate unique elements from your location to convey a sense of place, and look at ways to include your experience on the map. Demo/paint along will include ways to paint water, land features, and borders.
August 23, 2022: Vegetable Explosion
The late summer harvest is coming on fast with an explosion of shapes, colors, and textures. We’ll capture an abundance of vegetables from the garden and farmer’s market, focusing on ways to create a pleasing composition as you add multiple subjects on a single page.
