Join artist and tree lover Lizzy Schule on PHA’s campus for a series of nature drawing classes. Each class will cover a different theme in landscape drawing and nature journaling. These classes will be accessible to every student, whether enrolled in an individual class or the entire series. Classes will address various concerns and techniques of the landscape artist, such as perspective, simplifying complexity, shading, and how to render light. Lizzy says “Most importantly, we will have fun, be curious, and try to capture some of our experiences and observations of nature.” Students will use a combination of graphite, charcoal, inks, colored pencils, and other drawing materials.

Lizzy Schule paints landscapes, portraits, and nudes. Though predominantly an oil painter, she typically sketches in charcoal, graphite, and watercolors before deciding on final compositions for her paintings. Lizzy holds a BA in painting and poetry from Bennington College in Vermont. After graduating, she taught English as a Second Language for several years in Oxford, New York City, and Istanbul. In 2015, she received her MA and MFA in painting and printmaking from the University of Iowa. At Iowa, she instructed undergraduate drawing classes. She now teaches a figure drawing class at Featherstone Center for the Arts.
