drawings by the Art Student's League

Works from the Drawing From Nature Workshop at The Art Student's League in New York.

​

Instructor : June Julian.

​

During the Drawing from Nature workshop, the students were guided through observation and drawing of a wide selection of natural specimens, using traditional drawing media.

​

Students investigated examples of how artists have drawn their inspiration from nature throughout history. Studio time included carefully considered studies of

various natural forms, rendered alone and in groups, with emphasis on drawing technique, composition,

scale, and content.
