Gestural Landscape: Charcoal Sketching in the Gardens
Gestural Landscape: Charcoal Sketching in the Gardens
Saturday | May 16
10 AM – 12 PM
Location: Meet at the Welcome Center
Discover the expressive power of charcoal in this plein air workshop, guided by Connecticut artist Christina Biroscak. You’ll explore bold, gestural mark-making to capture the essence of the landscape’s light, forms, and movement. Explore additive and reductive approaches to charcoal, composition, and atmospheric depth while drawing directly from nature. This class includes short demos and plenty of hands-on sketching amid the Blithewold grounds and gardens. All levels—from adventurous beginners to seasoned artists—are welcome. This class embraces growth!
Please dress for the weather and bring your own supplies: vine and willow charcoal, a kneaded eraser, an 11” x 14” or larger newsprint pad, and binder clips.
Adults only. Registration is required and limited to 10.
