September Garden – Seasonal Sketching & Watercolor Workshop
September is the start of the autumn harvest season – a time to savor in your garden, at the farmers market, or in the landscape! Join Alina Nuebel, painter and naturalist, for this workshop where we “draw” inspiration from the gardens at the Sonoma Community Center! We will relish the last of summer’s warmth in the Center’s Secret Garden, while we draw (and nibble!) some beautiful seasonal produce. Drawing fruit is a classic subject for a reason!
This class will cover:
– tips for drawing fruits and vegetables from life
– techniques for quickly sketching in watercolor, including color theory
– free time to paint
– time to receive individualized feedback and guidance from the instructor
Materials will be provided for student use during the workshop, so all you have to do is bring yourself! Invite a friend, bring a snack. Beginners welcome and encouraged!

Artist / Instructor
Alina Nuebel is a painter, environmental muralist, and naturalist. Educated as an ecologist, Nuebel’s artwork reflects upon seasonality, phenology, and ecology of local organisms.

When you register for a class, you’ll be offered three price tiers. The middle tier comes closest to what our registration fees used to be, and covers about 50% of the full cost of your participation in the class – with the other 50% covered by community donations. The first tier creates accessibility for people with limited income, while the third tier covers the full cost of participation – so that we can use community donations to support other people’s registration costs. When you choose to register at the third tier, you directly help support the Center’s efforts to remove financial barriers for others.
The Sonoma Community Center (the Center) strives to create an inclusive, safe community where everyone is treated with dignity and respect. The Center is committed to creating such an environment because it brings out the fullest potential in each of us, which, in turn, contributes directly to creating a community of belonging. In order to ensure a positive, safe, and welcoming experience for everyone, all program participants are asked to abide by the following policies, community agreements, and restorative safety protocol.
