My Urban sketching classes at The Hub continue on Wednesdays from 1 to 4 PM. In February we explored outdoor sketching and a special tracing technique for drawing birds. I have a videos of the class on Instagram.

At the Artists’ Workshop, my Thursday class (1-3:30 PM) has been well attended. We are using Annette Compton’s book, “drawing from the mind, painting from the heart”

A new Monday class at Trinity Lutheran Church (12:30-3:30 PM) offers a continuation for those who can’t meet on Thursdays.

Finally, I will be in Medellin, Colombia, the last two weeks of March. Classes will resume when I return.
