Sketching Nature

$60.00

Hike the Mansfield Hollow Trail and sketch along the way. Join a relaxed, guided sketching session surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature. You’ll learn simple techniques for quick observational sketches, sharpen your awareness of form, light, and texture, and practice capturing moments in the landscape.

What to expect

  • A gentle hike with multiple sketch stops (camp stools will be provided)

  • Short demonstrations and hands-on guidance tailored to beginners and returning students

  • Tips for quick composition, mark-making, and choosing materials that travel well

  • Time for independent sketching

What to Bring

  • A small sketchbook (5x7 works well)

  • Pencils, pens, or a compact watercolor kit—whatever you prefer

  • Comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing and water.

  • A backpack is not necessary but can be a great way to carry your materials

Meet at the trailhead ready to explore, observe, and create. No previous drawing experience required—just curiosity and a sense of adventure.
