Water, a most essential element. Transfixing to watch, enjoyable and challenging to draw and paint. We’ll meet at parks and other outdoor locations, observing and drawing from the water, whether close-up, on the “shore” of a small lake, or viewing the Ohio River from an Eden Park overlook. We’ll draw water’s movement, reflections, colors. And we’ll develop a sense of its place in our compositions, as well as in art history, and the world. Color theory will be included, and you’re also encouraged to work with color intuitively.

Choose and combine your media: from “traditional” drawing media (graphite, charcoal, conté crayon, etc.), to drawing media with color (oil pastels, water-soluble oil pastels, colored pencils, etc.), to ink to watercolor, and more.
