Drawing From Nature
July 28, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Join local illustrator Sophie and the Odessa Library in drawing from nature — drawing and observing the summer landscape around us. We will adventure on a short walk and will explore different ways of seeing and connecting to the plants we find along the way. Back at the library, we will draw leaves, flowers, and shells through various exercises and have some fun. All ages welcome.
