Registration Closes 6/15
We will meet at Lake View Pavilion at Gifford Pinchot State Park to start the day. This pavilion is right along the shore of the lake, with some evergreen and deciduous trees nearby. It is a picturesque setting looking out over the water. Some ideas for drawing subjects and a variety of techniques will be shared and discussed.
Weather permitting, a short hike to take photographs or make quick sketches will follow. Beth Kepley-McNutt, Environmental Education Specialist, will lead this hike. Think of this as a sort of “art safari” with an opportunity to collect lots of inspiring scenes, or pictures of examples of flora and fauna. We will return to the shelter to enjoy a working lunch as we draw from the natural surroundings.
If weather is more wet, we will remain at the shelter to draw found objects in lieu of the hike.
Composition and the Principles of Design will be discussed, along with ideas on how to capture form and texture.
Please note: this is a rain or shine workshop. We will only cancel if there is threat of thunderstorms, or excessive heat with no make-up date due to reservation of the pavilion. Cancellation Notice will be sent by email no later than 2 hours before the start of the event and will be at the discretion of the Instructor and York Art Association.
This unique learning experience is geared for adult artists who have registered for the workshop with the intent to draw; No children or other guests permitted.
