Sketching and Painting in the Wissahickon with Jean McWilliams and Lisa Kleiman

May 22 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Meet at Harper’s Meadow
Come join a group of like-minded enthusiasts for art and nature as we gather in Harper’s Meadow for a “plein air” session. Feel free to bring a chair, or a portable easel or just a blanket as well as a sketchbook or materials for painting that you can manage in the landscape of our beautiful park. There will be no formal art instruction, just whatever happens naturally when we bring together those who appreciate nature and are inspired to capture it in some artistic medium. The session will consist of brief introductions, time for drawing/painting and then coming together to share our work or just our insights into the process of making art in an open air space. No previous drawing or painting experience necessary. Please bring whatever materials you think you might want to use.
