Fall is the prime season for the ephemeral Minnesota mushrooms.  Learn about the many varieties of mushrooms and fungus that grow in Minnesota.  We’ll  examine the physical characteristics to incorporate in order to have your work be scientifically accurate.  This is a watercolor class.

- BLACK AND WHITE MEDIA -  Thursdays, Jan. 13, 20, 27, Feb.3, 10, 17


The Bakken Museum, Minneapolis, Minnesota


This class received rave reviews last year!  Bruce will show examples and demonstrate different black and white mediums. Drawing with graphite will be reviewed and demonstrated during the first session. Students will go through a series of exercises to “loosen” up and then begin the line drawing of the subject they will concentrate on for the other mediums including pen and ink, scratchboard, and carbon dust. Other subjects are enthusiastically encouraged, but ideally the students will have three or four completed drawings in the different media when they complete the class.
