Sign up for Seaside Public Library’s Drawing Natural Objects Workshop with local artist and illus- trator Dorota Haber-Le- high. The workshop will take place at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11 and is sponsored by the Friends of the Seaside Library. You must sign up for this class and can do so at the circulation desk or by calling 503-738-6742. The class is free, and all materials will be provided. In this back-to-basics drawing class, Haber-Le- high will engage partici- pants in fun and surprising sketching exercises to loosen the hand, which will help in learning to draw with confidence. The class will also cover how light and shadow affect illus- tration and how to shade and apply texture to make your natural objects look realistic. Participants will then draw seashells using the techniques they have learned. Haber-Lehigh will bring shells as examples, and everyone is encouraged to bring a favorite shell to use as a model. Haber-Lehigh received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pacific University with a focus on printmak- ing and art history. She has designed, illustrated and published the coloring books “ABC of Native Plants of the Coastal Pacif- ic Northwest” and “Native Berries of the Coastal Pacific Northwest.” SUBMITTED PHTOO Dorota Lehigh-Haber will present a Drawing Natural Objects workshop.
