Learn to draw a different aspect of nature each month! Perfect for beginners and the science-curious.
About this Event

Learn to draw animals, plants, and more! Bring your sketchbook, because we are doing a deep dive into nature drawing. We'll talk about graphite values, shading, color, and how to quickly draw shapes that make up more complex structures such as flowers and animal bodies.


We'll go in depth on bugs, flowering plants, mushrooms, skulls, and more. You will leave class with at least 2 partially-finished drawings to continue working on at home. This class is ideal for teens and adults who love to draw, want to boost their skills, or are just starting out as beginners!


Each month we will approach a different topic. Pick your favorite or keep coming back to enhance your skills!


Students must bring their own sketchbooks. All other supplies are included, including optional painting tools. This class is recommended for students ages 14 and up.


May: Bugs! Learn insect anatomy by studying RJ's extensive (dead) bug collection.

June: Flowers! Enjoy RJ's harvested neighborhood bouquet and learn different methods for drawing flowering plants.

July: Snakes & Reptiles! RJ will break down scale patterns and what makes turtles differ from lizards differ from snakes.


Rebecca Ann Jordan (she/any) is a speculative artist, art teacher, and author passionate about telling stories about the natural world and exploring alien ones. Using saturated traditional mediums, their work explores humans' complicated relationships with the natural world. RJ has shown art and zines at Push/Pull, Friday Afternoon Tea, The Fishbowl, and more. In her free time she draws bugs, cuddles her cats, gardens, and makes weird stuff.

Parking: There are paid parking lots and paid street parking all around the venue. Generally you can expect to pay $5-8 for street parking, unless there is a stadium event on that day. Keep an eye out for event parking rates!
