Barnstable Land Trust’s Fuller Farm is an ideal location to study and sketch the Cape Cod agricultural landscape. Betsy will talk about her painting process, while demonstrating how she combines technical skills with her expressive approach to color and design. As a lifelong educator, she welcomes the community to come and walk with her for this interactive sketchbook drawing session. Participants are encouraged to bring their own sketchbook and drawing instruments.
