During this beginner-friendly session, Maui-based artist Maggie Sutrov will teach us how to draw some of our favorite fishes found in Florida Keys waters. Maggie teaches a free-form style of drawing and painting, where no lines are mistakes. No artistic knowledge is necessary to join in this workshop, just enthusiasm!
Back by popular demand, we're hosting "part two" of Drawing Fish for Beginners with Maggie Sutrov (here's part 1)! Based on Maui, Maggie is a professional artist and a teaching artist. You can find more about her at paintthere.com. Maggie loves helping people form a deeper connection with the natural world through drawing and painting. She is also a keen advocate for the skills developed through the act of drawing, such as our powers of observation--perfect for learning and identifying marine animals!
