OLD FORGE — View will offer an 8-week Botanical Portrait Colored Pencil Zoom workshop with instructor Bonnie Haney, running from April 25 through June 13. Classes will be held each Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m.

To do a portrait, students will draw a full plant from life. This class will develop observation and drawing skills, will teach composition, color theory and how to use color pencils. In addition, Haney will talk about perspective of plants and how to correctly draw shadows.

With all these techniques, students will be able to create a final drawing correctly portraying, texture, color, aerial perspective, and detail of the plant accurately. The class is for all levels, beginner to advanced.

Prices for the class are $135, $115 for members. Pre-registration is required and can be done online at ViewArts.org/workshops.
