SKETCHING IN NATICK
WITH ERIN

Hi, Erin here and I’ll be back in Natick again in September/October 2025 - visiting our family in Natick.
This will be the 4th year I’ll be giving my Sketch Classes in Natick.
You’ll learn to see what’s around you and get your own impression in a sketch book. Great if you’re a traveler, or even around your own garden. Your sketch is your journey and it will bring back that memory whenever you see it again.

A very big thank you to Denise Girardin, Kim Dwelley and Jane-Ellen Frazier Newman for their encouragement and support in creating these Classes.

Looking forward to sketching with you soon.

Yes you can Sketch!
Believe it or not, sketching isn’t about talent! It’s about seeing!
Workshops or Classes - I’ll show you how we observe what’s in front of us, by looking and observing our subject,
and getting those shapes into our sketchbooks.
No pencils to start, just a black pen and a willingness to ‘let go’ and put lines on a page.
You’ll soon see it coming together in your own style (yes you have one.)
We sketch outside on location and not from photos or reference.
It’s about having fun and enjoying whatever ends up on your page. Wibbly wobbly is fine. 
I’ll be demonstrating every step of the way.
