Art Journal: Floral Sketching with Katie Dean

Join on Zoom to learn to sketch flowers with local artist Katie Dean.

Class Description

Choose a single flower or floral arrangement to focus on for the sketching exercise. This can be from a photo or from real life. If you’d like to position yourself outside or arrange some flowers in a vase, feel free to do so. We will focus on capturing the close-up details of the subject and we will use colored pencils.

Supply List

1 photo of a floral theme (unless sketching from real life)

Sketchbook or clipboard with artist quality drawing paper (approx. 8.5” x 11”) or the Summer Reading Challenge Journal, available at your Pierce County Library. 

Pencil / Eraser / Sharpener

Colored Pencils; feel free to get creative with your palette.
