Newburyport Art offers Nature Sketchbook with Johanna Finnegan Topitzer

Four Fridays, June 6th – June 27th | 10:00am–1:00pm | Meet at NAA
$200 for NAA members / $250 non-members

A way to relax your mind and understand the world around you. In this weekly meet-up, students will be introduced to using mindful focus to observe and record what they see in the outdoors. There will be a brief introduction with examples for students to use for inspiration. Then, the class will take a walk to look at nature weather permitting. Instructor will stop at a suitable place for students to find their own spot to focus upon and draw/paint/write. Class will then regroup and share their work in a guided group critique session. Former drawing experience is helpful but not necessary. This class is more about focusing on the world around you rather than achieving artistic skill. This is an indoor/outdoor class. This class will take place on 6/6, 6/13, 6/20 and 6/27.
