Nature's Sketchbook workshop with Barry Van Dusen

Over the


last thirty years, artist Barry Van Dusen has filled more than 70 field


sketchbooks with thousands of drawings of birds, plants, mammals, landscapes


and other nature subjects. Field sketching is Barry’s way of exploring the natural world, and his primary tool for developing skills as a naturalist and an artist. In this two-part workshop, Barry will discuss the basic tools for


field sketching, including drawing and color mediums as well as optical aids. Explore various drawing approaches: schematic, contour, gesture and tonal drawing. We’ll also delve into artistic concerns such as developing “touch” and a personal visual vocabulary. The sketchbook is the perfect place for artistic


experimentation and invention. Space limited, registration required. 

$95M/$115NM for the series.
