Please arrive at the Eklutna Lake Day Use Pavilion by 9:45AM. We will begin our class promptly at 10:00AM.
About the class: Learn how to bring creativity outdoors with Field Sketching 101, a guided workshop led by Alaska artist Kate Powers of Artscape Workshops. We’ll explore the fundamentals of field sketching using water-soluble tools to capture the stunning scenery of Eklutna Lake. After reviewing our sketching materials and assembling our own personal sketch kits—watercolor pencils, watercolor crayons, and artist markers—we’ll take a short walk down to the beach and practice capturing what we see with expressive, approachable techniques.
This workshop is perfect for those looking to enhance their time in nature, whether hiking, backpacking, boating, or simply slowing down to observe.
Total workshop time is approximately 2.5 hours. This course is best suited for adult learners and teenagers.
What we will make:
Each participant will create a small collection of nature-inspired sketches using mixed media on watercolor paper. All materials are included for this experience.
Group size: Maximum 12 learners total
Course fees:
$65 per person
$59 per person for Adventure Club Members
What's included: All workshop materials and supplies: water-soluble sketching tools, watercolor paper, and a portable sketching board.
Optional: Creative Social Lunch
After class, you’re invited to a relaxed creative social lunch at the pavilion from 12:30PM to 2:00PM. Bring your lunch and continue sketching, sharing ideas, or just enjoy the view with fellow participants.
