We will use elements of the drawing process--contour lines, value gradations, or crosshatching--to smooth the transitions between our new creature creations. Will you create a new hybrid animal? Or will you focus on texture for something a little more abstract?To see upcoming sessions, visit the Drawing from Experience program page.Please note: face coverings are required for anyone over the age of two, even for visitors who have been fully vaccinated. A face shield can be worn but must be worn in conjunction with a face covering for entry.
