Winter Session  Saturday, December 12; 2-4p $40 per participant  Nature offers much inspiration in the wintertime, especially at the farm.  Enjoy a winter farm walk, clip a piece of nature to bring home as your focus, then join guest instructor, Erica Beade, online for a cozy winter session.   *Farm walk not required for online workshop.

Come to the farm for a socially distanced walk around the woodlands and fields & clip a piece of nature - or choose a potted seedling - to use as your focus for the online workshop experience with Instructor, Erica Beade.  - THEN -  Meet others remotely in Zoom for group instruction, followed by some One-on-One time with Erica Beade to share your artwork privately and receive tips and feedback.    

All sessions feature guest instructor, illustrator Erica Beade, as she helps you learn to capture the beauty of flower and plant forms on paper.  We’ll take a close look at some of Waltham Fields Community Farm’s botanical wonders using pencil and paper, and explore drawing techniques such as contour, gesture, foreshortening and shading.  Teens and adults of all skill levels are welcome!
