Make it Wild: Botanical Drawing Outdoors

In this fun, live class, we will use line and color to explore the shapes and flow of the smaller segments in our natural world. You will learn some natural history about our subjects along the way.

The floral portraits that Mary Lohuis creates allow for close inspection of and an opportunity to enjoy the intricacies of our broader landscape. Through close observation, Mary is able to enjoy and appreciate the colors, shapes, seasonal rhythms and interactions in individual blooms and stems. In this live class, we will use line and color to explore the shapes and flow of the smaller segments in our natural world.

This class will take place from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. on August 3, at the Museum on the Sculpture Trail. If there is rain, the class will take place in the classroom.

Make it Wild courses are open to adults and young adults with beginner to intermediate abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during this interactive program.
