Capture fall by looking at leaves three different ways! Start by learning the meditative art of contour drawing and practice on a variety of leaf shapes. When you’re done, try your hand at watercolor as you learn color mixing and techniques to paint your drawing. Finish the workshop by learning how to hand print your leaves onto calligraphy paper. You’ll leave the workshop with several prints and paintings, a naturalist’s record of an autumn day.
