This week: Reds, whites, & blues

Local artist Catinka Knoth will lead a series of free drawing classes for adults on creating birds and floral or berry motif art and cards, at Rockland Public Library. Participants will create art using pencils, colored pencils, crayons, and sometimes scissors, with an emphasis on drawing in color. Students do warm-up practices before working on final drawings. Each week is a different bird and plant combination – birds such as hummingbirds, cedar waxwings,
and cardinals. Knoth will give instruction and guidance. She invites students of all levels to come make art in this communal and diverse environment.

Knoth provides the classes free of charge, with materials supplied. Friends of Rockland Library host the workshops, which are open to the public. FMI Knoth at info@catinkacards.com or Rockland Library at 594-0310.

Knoth paints watercolors of Maine, and whimsical animal scenes, which she offers as cards and prints. She also teaches a free weekly children’s drawing class at Rockland Public Library, sponsored by Wendy and Keith Wellin. For more information about Knoth’s work visit
