The workshop will present a way of drawing from nature that progresses from the sketchbook to a finished drawing. There will be a class presentation on an approach to using the sketchbook as a tool for connecting with nature and selecting content and compositions. The workshop will move from a classroom presentation to the outdoors for image development and then back to the classroom for work on the finished drawing.
