BEGINNING DRAWING
Basic to any art class, drawing is a learned skill which anyone can be taught.
With a minimum of supplies you will be able to record your travels visually
representing the things which matter in your environment and enjoy a lifelong,
relaxing hobby. Drawing is a necessary prerequisite to painting. You will learn
the basics of line, shading, contour, form and perspective.
Supplies: Uniball fine line waterproof pen, artist pencils: 2B, 4B, HB,
gum eraser, pencil sharpener, ruler, drawing pad 11x14” or 14x17”
Instructor: Freddie Flynt always has a sketchbook and pencils with her and draws
wherever her travels take her. She has taught many CLE art classes and just returned
from teaching Watercolor on the Queen Mary 2 exploring the gardens of Madiera, the
Canary Islands and South Africa.

Singer and force of nature Libby Whittemore launches the season in her inimitable way May 24th-27th. Libby’s performed at the Playhouse before and her style – a beguiling blend of Rosemary Clooney and Ethel Merman, leavened with a healthy dose of Southern Sass and hints of Patsy Cline – proved as irresistible as catnip to Highlands audiences. This return to the mountains promises to deliver the same dynamic style and wit that’s become
her hallmark.
