We will meet at 9:00 AM at the CVS (formerly Rite Aid) in Ashland and make our way into the Monument from there.

Sarah will lead a group of artists on a sketching adventure in the Monument. Use your favorite materials, it can be as simple as a pencil or you can bring your favorite paints. Registrants will receive a suggested materials list.

If you are attending the workshop, please also plan on attending Sarah’s talk on Friday night which will provide an introduction to plein air art techniques.
