September Seminar Alert!

September Landscape Sketch Outing



Here’s my upcoming seminar on September 19th, 10am-3:30pm:

LANDSCAPE SKETCH COMPOSITION
We’ll meet at Chantry Flats, a new location, beautiful and tree covered stream, rock walls and a waterfall. We'll do some field sketching and small comps while discussing the elements of good composition.

*Suggestions for this outting:There is nothing challenging about this path but, nonetheless, be safe and bring good walking shoes for some of the more difficult areas. Bring a wet and dry sketchbook, several dry drawing tools, perhaps some ink and ink wash tools as well. A backpack or over the shoulder bag will be useful, possibly a light weight folding chair. And be prepared; have a jacket or sweatshirt.
