Published authors Charles Freedom Long and Linda Lavid will present a wonderful program of “Writing, not for sissies” on July 15, at 6 pm for adults. This program is for new writers or interested parties who want to learn from the best!
Audrey Kay Dowling- For this class we will explore drawing birds from the wonderful Patterson Library collection of mounted birds. The focus will be learning about gesture drawing, contour line drawing, and shading to build the form. Students are encouraged to bring the drawing materials they most like to use and I will give input into those materials. I will also bring my mock up sheets using the drawings I did from these and Audubon collections to design the ceramic tile mural installed in the foyer of the Patterson Library. “Birds in the Foyer” is the result of a DEC grant.
This is a one-hour class for teens. Pencils, fine pt pens, erasers, copy paper. Clipboards will be provided.
