Sketching and Painting Nature

Sketching and Painting Nature

Have you ever wanted to draw and paint the creatures in the natural world? Well, if so, here’s your chance.  Scott Rashid the director of the Colorado Avian Research and Rehabilitation Institute (CARRI) among other things is an accomplished watercolor artist who creates unique bird paintings.

Scott and members of CARRI will be teaching Sketching and Painting in Nature to raise money for the avian research and rehabilitation that they do. Starting June 18th at 8:30 am and every Tuesday morning throughout the summer, attending artists will be in the field sketching and then in the studio creating watercolor paintings. The subject matter will include birds, animals, trees, flowers, and more.

Each morning, we will meet upstairs at the Estes Park Bank Building 255 Park Lane, which is also where the indoor painting portion of the classes will be held. We will then move to an area outdoors and sketch in nature for about an hour.  After that, we will return to the studio and create watercolor paintings for the rest of the morning.
