“Drapery, Folds, and Wrinkles” Class at Remington Museum

The Frederic Remington Art Museum continues its popular series of adult art classes with a drawing class taught by local artist Julie Pratt on Monday, July 2, from 10 am to noon. The class will focus on drawing the folds and wrinkles of fabric.

Whether it’s the backdrop to a still life or the folds of fabric covering a figure, drawing fabric can be a challenge. Instructor Julie Pratt will guide participants first through a number of exercises to develop their observational drawing skills, and then will turn to the drawing of fabric. This class is appropriate not only for those who want to explore drawing drapery but for anyone who wants to further their drawing skills in general.

The class will be taught at the Eva Caten Remington Education Center, 323 Washington Street, Ogdensburg. All skill levels are welcome, and materials will be provided, though artists are welcome to bring their own materials if they prefer.The cost of the class is $15 for members of the Remington Museum and $25 for non-members. The class is limited to 12 participants. Call 315-393-2425 or email desmond@fredericremington.org to ask questions or sign up, or visit fredericremington.org to register online.
