Sketchbook Workshop: Glorious Greens
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Church of Art sketchbook workshops are relaxing, engaging sessions of drawing and painting in your own sketchbook, often with a theme, and the theme for Glorious Greens is Plant.! If you know the winter blahs will be settling in by late January, then this evening is the pick-me-up you want on your calendar. For this workshop, warm up with a creative prompt, then spend a few hours becoming one with a variety of plants–large and small, tall and short, terrestrial and xerophytes–and capturing their magic in our sketchbooks while letting their glorious greenery transport you to warmer, brighter days.

Watercolor, graphite, and colored pencils.
All you need to bring is your own sketchbook (of any size and type).
