Art on the Farm

Participants 18 years and older are invited to bring their art supplies for a day of exploration and creating at the beautiful Lundell Farms in North Muskegon (https://www.lundellfarms.com). Participants will start the day at 10am with a greeting from owner Lori Lundell followed by a demonstration by artist MJ Ernst: the master of the quick sketch and member of urban sketchers http://www.urbansketchers.org/. MJ will give a demonstration using pens and watercolor, providing tips on how to sketch “en plein air”. Participants will then be on their own to explore and be inspired by the farm’s natural charm.
