Capture the intricate details of summer in Glacier Park and learn drawing fundamentals that will enhance your connection to nature.  Together we’ll draw everything from wildflowers and wildlife to peaks and panoramas and experiment with different styles and media.  We’ll explore a forest burned in the 2003 fire season and learn simple ways to create gesture and line drawings while capturing the textures of snags and re-growth.  At Lake McDonald, we will practice composing panoramic drawings and work on shading.  Hiking through alpine tundra, we’ll capture the texture and colors of summer in Glacier National Park.  We’ll experiment with the versatility, depth, and convenience of colored pencils and also work with graphite, charcoal, and pen and ink to create vibrant drawings.
