Observational Drawing and Aesthetic Philosophies of Landscape: A Community Drawing Class

In this 90-minute class, we'll delve into the art of observation with artist Katharine Marais, learning to see beyond the surface and capture the essence of the natural world on paper. Through guided exercises and gentle encouragement, participants will not only hone their drawing abilities but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for the natural beauty and sculptural surroundings of the Garden.

Class recommended for ages 12 and up. Children under 18 must be accompanied by guardian
