Wildlife Drawing With Avery at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve

June 14th, Sunday. 2pm

Join Avery, Wildlife Interpreter and Freelance Artist, for this very special second art event at the Preserve. 

• Participants will be introduced to artistic field notes and nature drawing as tools for close ecological observation.
• Together we practice slowing down, sketching, recording questions, and noticing patterns in the surrounding landscape.
