studio 206 | Sketching From Nature workshop with cj shelton

Join AltonMill artist and illustrator CJ Shelton and benefit from her 40+ years of drawing experience as she takes you through guided exercises, demos, and supervised sketching time outdoors (weather permitting).

You will learn tips and tricks to deepen your observational abilities and help you better translate what you see in the natural world around you into a sketchbook or journal. The session is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced artists.

Whether you want to spark your artistic expression, develop your observational skills, or mindfully immerse yourself in nature, this session will offer gentle art instruction paired with a unique, creative outdoor experience.

The session begins at 1:00 pm with instruction and a few practice exercises, followed by drawing outdoors until approximately 4 pm. During that time, CJ will be circulating to provide individual 1-on-1 guidance. The session will end with a re-group to “show and tell”. After the session, you have the option to stay longer and keep drawing or enjoy the property.

Materials Required: Sketchbook and drawing materials.
