$30 | 2:00PM - 5:00PM | Leader: Kelly Ballantyne
Meeting Location: Big Marsh Park
Registration Required
In our field sketching session, we'll turn our attention to the graceful wading birds! These fascinating creatures demand both patience and keen observation. We’ll practice some fun exercise to loosen up our hands and overcome the fear of the blank page, then dive right into sketching whichever birds catch our fancy. Kelly will cover how to see shapes within birds, how to use negative space, and other techniques to capture birds in motion. In this session you will be provided with a sketchbook and a small package of colored pencils to keep, but feel free to bring your own supplies. Birds can be far away at this location so if you have a scope you can bring that too.
