Outdoor Educational Class "Drawing Mushrooms and Flowers 101"

Date: Saturday, December 14, 2019
Time: 9;00-11:00 AM
Price: Complimentary with regular park admission of $4/adults and $3 kids ages 6-12

The southern forest is full of magic! Even the most easily-overlooked plants, such as mushrooms and wildflowers scattered along the forest floor, can be both interesting and beautiful and make great subjects for a nature journal. Come develop your drawing skills using these botanical jewels in a short, interactive, workshop on November 23, 2019. This class will help you develop your observation and drawing skills in a relaxed setting and will inspire you to  venture into the forest where your own new discoveries await!

 

About Our Instructor, Nancy Milford
Nancy is a Baldwin County girl through and through. She has a passion for Alabama flora and fauna which led her to study biology at the University of South Alabama. She later pursued a career as an engineer, but re-connected with nature and began to explore her more creative side by drawing and painting wildlife. Nancy is a self-taught artist, but continues to attend workshops to polish her craft. She is a member of the Mobile Arts Council and the American Society of Botanical Artists.
