Using pencils, charcoal, and other materials, learn how to emphasize tonal values, texture, and the weight of line in the discovery of plant details from the garden. The two session Tower Hill Botanic Garden class on Fridays, July 12 and 19, 9 – 3, will involve a discussion and small technique sketches before approaching a larger comprehensive and completed drawing. A materials list will be sent upon registration.
The class will be taught by Carolyn Todd. Carolyn earned her BFA and MA in studio Fine Arts and Fine Arts education from the University of Texas and the University of Houston. She was selected as the “Artist in Residence” for the National Park Service, Amistad National Recreation Area. She enjoys helping students of all ages discover their personal expression by enabling critical thinking. Carolyn teaches drawing, and watercolor, oil, acrylic, gouache, and encaustic painting. She is currently teaching in the ALFA program at Fitchburg State University, and the Creative Minds program (Seven Hills Foundation) at the Worcester and Fitchburg Art Museums.
