Leaves Three Ways: Drawing, Painting, and Printing Leaves at Brookside Gardens

Sue Fierston, teaching artist and president of the International Nature Printing Society

Capture summer by looking at leaves three different ways! Start by learning the meditative art of contour drawing and practice your skill on a variety of leaf shapes. When you’re done, try your hand at watercolor as you learn color mixing and techniques to paint your drawing. Finish the workshop by learning how to hand print your leaves onto calligraphy paper. You’ll leave the workshop with three to four leaf prints and one to two paintings, a naturalist’s record of a spring day.
