A Drawing Retreat

Join us for a day of drawing, sketching and coloring the beauty of autumn in the woods. We’ll explore composition, line, color mixing, and mostly the inspiration of the wild. Focus on the tiny details of a leaf or rock, then zoom out to capture the magnificence of the landscape.  Learn about the natural world, interpret the bird language that surrounds us, and identify plants, trees, and animals.  Together we’ll build a collective fire using a primitive friction fire method, and enjoy our lunch around its warmth, sharing our work and stories.
