May 11 Sketching in the Gallery at the Remington Museum
Ogdensburg, NY — The Frederic Remington Art Museum invites the public to the next Sketching in the Gallery class on Saturday, May 11 from 10:00 am-12:00 pm in the Museum’s Albert P. Newell and Addie P. Newell Galleries. Participants will get a chance to spend some time with Frederic Remington’s artwork in the galleries, while honing their own drawing skills.
This session is designed with minimal instruction, allowing participants to focus on their own needs and areas for further development. Guided by artist and instructor Julie Pratt, attendees will receive one one-on-one instruction and develop a drawing practice that will strengthen the foundation of their creative work. These drawing sessions are a great way to develop observational drawing skills. Some areas of focused instruction and practice in this class will include line, perspective, shading, mark-making, color, proportion, and composition.
All ranges of drawing experience are welcome. Drawing materials will be provided, though artists are welcome to bring their own sketchbooks and pencils if they prefer. The cost of the class is $5 for members of the Remington Museum and $10 for non-members.
