When is the last time you looked closely at a leaf?  Studied its shape and veins?  Observed the colors different species turn in the fall?  In this hands-on workshop, local artist, Stacey Pydynkowski, will guide you through easy, approachable techniques for sketching elements of the autumn landscape as you gather inspiration from your surroundings at Penguin Court.  Perfection is certainly not required!  Just curiosity, pencil lines, and a love of nature.  Enjoy the calm, mindful practices of nature journaling.
 
     This workshop will begin in Penguin Court’s conservatory and then participants will head outside to explore the picturesque landscape, collect leaves, and create drawings inspired by their observations.  We’ll come together at the end of our workshop to share our observations and experiences, but there’s no pressure to share!  Sketching materials and references will be provided or you may bring your own.  Please also bring a camp chair for yourself and dress for the weather.
