Leader: Jen Brown With its varied textures and patterns, bark can be an integral part in identifying our native trees. Sketching bark is a great way to reinforce what you have learned and it also an excellent way to practice drawing the interplay of light and texture. In the first part of this class we will cover some ways of representing shape, texture, and light using bark as our subject and cover the basics of bark ID. Then, if weather permits, we will go outside for our own "bark blitz" to draw as many different types of tree bark as time allows. We will work in graphite (pencil).
