About the event

You will learn to observe plants in nature in ways you never have before—seeing and then drawing the unique details with pen and watercolor. We will meet at the Nuveen and then—weather permitting—walk to Lions Park in Whitehall (just down the hill from the Nuveen), using picnic tables under the gazebo. This will allow us to observe plants in their habitat. You will be using drawing skills along with layout and design elements that Marie Essenberg will demonstrate. This will start you on a journey of exploration for years to come in your own nature journal!
