Come and enjoy an hour dedicated to nothing but sketching!
Bring your own sketchpad, drawing tool(s), and a three-dimensional object to sketch. We might start with a brief warm up (scribbling, contours, shading)… or not! This is your time and space, set aside from the demands of the world, to simply and finally practice seeing and drawing—soul-feeding activities that you love, but can never seem to get around to doing.
This group meets Thursdays from 3-4pm, every two weeks. Open to all artistic abilities and ages 12+!
