Join us at the Art Cart for free workshops all summer long! 

At this workshop, learn observational drawing on location using ink line and a loose watercolor wash for tone. You'll warm up with blind contour exercises before choosing a Bryant Park scene, the fountain, Le Carrousel, the library facade, or a stretch of lawn. Observation and confidence with line are the focus.
