How many times have you looked in wonder at a bird’s nest and marveled at its construction? Drawing a bird’s nest will invite you to look even closer and discover what nest materials the bird chose to create their unique design and shape. In this three session Berkshire Botanical class with botanical illustrator Carol Ann Morley, you will learn how to ‘map out’ the nest construction to keep track of where you are. Through close observation you will discover the pattern of the weave as you identify horse hair, grass, twigs and other plant materials. Have fun bringing to life one of nature’s wonders, in your choice of mixed media with colored pencils, pen and ink, and gold paint on toned papers. Instructor will supply the bird nests to draw. Some drawing experience suggested. Class will take place at Berkshire Botanical Garden March 18 – 20 from 10 – 4, and is $340 for BBG members, $375 for nonmembers.
