Develop your observation skills through the practice of drawing from nature. Visual artist and teacher David West will guide participants through “deep looking” exercises designed to sharpen their ability to see and understand natural subjects. The class opens with a brief introduction to key observational drawing concepts, then moves into hands-on drawing exercises, supportive feedback, and group discussion throughout the session. No prior drawing experience is necessary — just curiosity and a willingness to look closely.
*The fee includes drawing materials.
