About this Event

Charcoal Drawing Plein Air in Strathcona Park

Join us and learn to use charcoal as a tool and create atmospheric sketches of the beautiful trees and shrubs in Strathcona park. We will begin with technical exercises and demonstrations and then the group will move to an area of the park to sketch. This class will provide students with a method that they can incorporate into their art practice or use as a way of recording the world around them. If it rains, the instructor will bring images to use as references. Participants are welcome to take photos of a favourite area of the park as well.

TIMES: 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM PST and 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM PST

LENGTH: 1.5 hours

LOCATION: Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your workshop time to allow time to check-in. The check-in tent is located on the east side of Strathcona Park.

AGES: Adults (ages 16 and up), Suitable for beginners and up!

PRICE: $35 per person per workshop

ACCESSIBILITY: The event site is on grass, gravel, and uneven terrain, there is no ramp access to the park. The open-air work setting will have ambient noise, conversational sound levels, and loud areas with the noise of food truck generators. There's a wheelchair-accessible portable washroom on site. Students will be walking around the park and sitting on the ground for parts of the workshop. We will communicate verbally with members of the public using listening and spoken language in English. Please let us know if you have any accessibility needs.

WHAT TO BRING: Attendees should bring a blanket or cushion to sit on while plein air drawing.
