Rock Cairn Level Two
In this class we will draw a balanced, dimensional Rock Cairn similar to what you might see in a park or lake. We will use my “magic string” to make the rocks look random but balanced. Then we will color, tangle and use my special method to shade and highlight to make the rocks look real!
A Cairn is a man-made pile (or stack) of stones. The word cairn is from the Scottish Gaelic: càrn [karn] .Cairns have been and are used for a broad variety of purposes, from prehistoric times to the present. Join Jennifer as she walks you through creating your own rock cairn of beautiful tangled and colored rocks.
Cairns have fascinated Jennifer for many years and she will share with you about cairns. As you create she will delight you with stories of cairns encountered on walks through nature. Enjoy a relaxing after noon of creating and make your own Cair that is balanced, dimensional, and beautiful.
