Think of it as a live drawing class with a nude model.This is not a snowy landscape type of class. Like in all parts of these "Four seasons" series, here we'll be looking at some fundamental elements of art and of life in general: this time at structure. Element as fundamental as the seasons themselves. And as all important things should be approached, we look at our subject in a fun, lighthearted way.

First, I'll take you on a walk through the forest in search of our models. We'll peer through the naked trunks as far as the eye can see, we'll raise our heads up and look right down beneath our feet, and see just how much life there is in places where we never normally look. We'll look at how to see and capture the personality of a tree, told by its bare spine and bones. Is it humble, majestic, lonely, sad, fragile, powerful? We'll see how parts of the tree tell us its story and how relate to each other.

As we learn by doing, we'll continue our exploration on paper. Here we'll explore some ways to draw trees by looking at its gesture, direction, branches, trunk, contour as well as by drawing what isn't. All with supplies as simple as a pencil and a cheap sketchbook.

The main goal of this class is to observe and train your eye, hand and heart so that you have a better understanding of structures in nature, which will help you when you have bigger pieces to work on. By focusing on those "lower level" (meaning fundamental) skills, you're getting equipped with a new way of seeing, a new way of approaching nature drawing and painting which will show through in your future work. And you might get to know your previously unnoticed trees so well that you'll end up making some life-long friends!
