Spend a peaceful, meditative day at the Laguna Environmental Center learning and practicing different colored pencil techniques from a wonderful botanical artist and instructor, Nina Antze. They’ll explore the textures and markings of winter branches, along with lichen and the dying leaves, acorns, dried berries and other last vestiges of the season. Learn ways to use lots of colors to create interesting browns and grays while enjoying the warmth of Heron Hall and the Laguna Environmental Center native plant landscape.

Nina Antze is a Sonoma County botanical artist and quiltmaker. She has a degree in Fine Art from San Francisco State and a Certificate in Botanical Illustration from the New York Botanical Gardens.
