Date: August 5th 2026 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Price: $35
Join artist and budding naturalist, Emma Brittain, as she guides you in discovering the art of identifying subtle colors and enhancing the vibrancy of your drawings. In this class, participants will learn to use artist-grade colored pencils to sketch a hummingbird. These native birds are known for the diversity of brilliant plumage color, particularly in blues, greens, and purples. The primary emphasis will be on refining colored pencil techniques and honing the ability to perceive the myriads of colors hidden within the feathers.
A sketchbook or drawing grade paper and 24 or more pack of Prismacolor colored pencils that includes a white pencil is recommended.
