You can practice various forms of observational drawing in the field through timed exercises. We will also discuss the fundamentals and tools of drawing on the go and drawing as a form of ecological knowledge building.
Participants must bring the following items for your course: a sketchbook, loose paper, preferred drawing utensils (e.g., pencils, colored pencils, pens, ink and brush, watercolors, pastels), and an optional folding stool or seat as needed for comfort.
