Shadows

Location:

Pogorelc Sanctuary, W. Barnstable

Description: 

As we move into the month of shorter days and longer nights, shadows become a predominant feature of the landscape. We will go on a shadow walk and learn both the science of shadows as well as the ways they can be used in our painting, sketching, and photography to build compositions that may even border on the surreal. What better way to begin your winter months than with the time change embraced by the shadows of nature. The walk is intended to introduce participants to the science concepts through the arts as well as some techniques for capturing the best impression. The walks are designed for artists, photographers, and families of all ages and ability levels. Each walk represents a unique perspective of Trust lands. ($10 members/$15 nonmembers)
