Each eve, we’ll meet in a different Central park spot, take a brief nature walk, and then delve into composition, perspective, line and value. I’ll walk back and forth and give guidance, while they develop independence with their own inspiration, with supplies provided (some to take home). The artistic adventure will culminate with outdoor play time (and usually when it comes to nature, it’s always exciting to see wildlife too!
