  • Wednesday, May 14, 9:30 am – 11:30 am Eastern – Landscape Sketching, Online

    Landscapes are a wonderful subject for drawings, but it can be difficult to know where to start. In this Harvard Museum of Natural History online workshop on May 14 with artist and educator Rachel Mirus, we’ll discuss how to select a composition, create a sense of depth and volume, and use a variety of marks to capture a dynamic variety of textures in a landscape. We’ll look at examples and have plenty of time for drawing and individualized feedback. The group will be limited to 12 participants, allowing ample time for individual feedback. All skill levels are welcome. This class is for adults. $30 for Harvard Museum members, $35 for nonmembers. Register at https://www.hmnh.harvard.edu/event/landscape-sketching-1

  • Tuesday, March 26, 9:30 am – 11:30 am Eastern – Drawing Fungi in Brush Pen, Online

    Fungi come in many weird and wonderful shapes, colors, and sizes that make them both fun and challenging to draw. This Harvard Museum of Natural History class on March 26 at 9:30 am with Rachel Mirus will introduce a few easy-to-see features on different types of mushrooms and lichens and explore strategies for capturing them on the page. We will use brush pens, a versatile medium that works well inside for formal projects or outside for field sketching. 

    The online group will be limited to 12 participants, allowing ample time for individual feedback. All skill levels are welcome. We are publishing this notice early because the art instruction classes tend to sell out early. $30 for Museum members, $35 for nonmembers.
