Have you ever wanted to loosely capture what you see in a sketch while out on a hike or sitting in your own backyard?

In this class, the North Carolina Botanical Garden will become our classroom as we experience the healing benefits of sketching while out in nature. You can lower your stress levels and promote mental calmness as we sketch the landscape before us.

This class is about loosely capturing the essence of the natural world, so don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of drawing experience as we won’t be focusing on all the little details. We will begin each class with a mini sketching lesson touching on how to approach sketching the different elements of the natural world around us, before we head out into the garden to sketch. This class is for all skill levels.

Thursdays from 1:30-4pm for six weeks. Meets in Joslin Classroom II (C107) except 10/17: Class meets in NCBG’s Bell Seminar Room
