Explore colorful textures in a fall botanical drawing using colored pencils. In the fall, nature provides us with an interesting array of colorful textures found in fall fruit, fungi, fall leaves, or seedpods. Explore shiny, mottled, specked and streaked textures in this workshop while drawing and observing fall subjects. All artistic levels welcome. Please bring a variety of small subjects to class that you would like to work with.
