The Art of Fall Landscapes
Saturday, September 17, 8-11AM (field class)
Rain date: Sunday, September 18
Registration is open to all!
Learn how to capture the beauty of autumnal landscapes through art. This class will be held at Faville Grove Sanctuary to practice art skills in the field. In the first half of class, we'll focus on simplifying and sketching landscapes. In the second half we'll add color! We will have some art supplies you may use, but you're encouraged to bring your favorites. This class is intended for people who are new to landscape sketching. Your instructor will be Carolyn Byers, Madison Audubon’s education director and artist behind Green Sparrow Arts.
Register here!
Registration is limited to 20 people, and is open to all!
About the instructor
Carolyn has spent many years studying avian behavior, and loves to share her bird knowledge with the Madison Audubon community. She is particularly interested in nesting ecology, chick development, and foraging behavior. Carolyn earned a BS in biology from the University of New Hampshire and a Master’s degree in wildlife ecology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Carolyn loves being a part of Madison Audubon education team which brings science to local youth and our communities. Carolyn enjoys spending time being active outside gardening, camping, fishing, and (of course) birding. Carolyn's (current) favorite birds are Henslow's Sparrows and other LBJs (little brown jobs)!
This class is part of Madison Audubon’s Naturalist Series. Registration for this class opens first to Madison Audubon members, and any remaining seats will open to the public a few weeks later. Want to join Madison Audubon? Click here!
