Sketch & Study: Trees, Twigs & Buds

Monday, December 14, 2026 · 10:30 AM

Museum of American Bird Art Education Center — 963 Washington St., Canton, MA

Stick season holds its own quiet beauty. Stripped of their leaves, winter trees reveal the architecture of their branches and details of their bark and buds. In this workshop, you'll learn drawing techniques for capturing winter trees on the page, with a focus on twigs, buds, and tree identification as nature journaling subjects. The final hour takes you out onto the wildlife sanctuary to practice your newly developed skills in the forest, drawing amongst our muses. No prior drawing experience needed. Park in the gravel parking lot by the large yellow barn and follow the paved path to The Nest. All materials will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own favorite journaling and drawing supplies.
