In Heather’s workshops and classes, she shares some of her favorite places to sketch, in and around Kennebunkport, Wells, Ogunquit, and York. Take in breathtakingly beautiful scenes from gardens with rocky perches overlooking the ocean, to picturesque marshes and harbors. Inspired by the area’s rich and historic art legacy- The Ogunquit Colony, and more- she shares her joy of sketching and expertise on capturing what is seen in an outdoor setting, while on the move!

Meetings begin with an instructional talk and discussion, and then students will break off to sketch at their own pace.

All skill levels are welcome!
