Suitable for adults and teens (teens must be accompanied by an adult)*

FREE. Pre-registration required: www.lagunafoundation.org

Spend a peaceful day at the Laguna Environmental Center trying out different Colored Pencil Techniques. Working with a variety of natural plants, leaves and flowers growing at the Laguna, we will focus on layering, blending, burnishing, and under-painting. We will play with some color theory and how to apply it to the pencils. This is a perfect class for beginners to learn about Colored Pencils and drawing nature and for more experienced artists to hone their skills. All drawing levels are welcome. A supply list will be provided.

Nina Antze is a Sonoma County botanical artist and quiltmaker. She has a degree in Fine Art from San Francisco State and a Certificate in Botanical Illustration from the New York Botanical Gardens.
