Participants will learn in the first session how to make a drawing of 

Marshall Point Light. Knoth will show how to depict  the white forms of 

the  tower, the pylons, and the walkway, by making the "negative" 

shapes of the deep blue sea that shows behind these objects.  The dark 

turret and cap of the building will appear with the use of minimal 

strokes. Broad swaths of crayon marks and accent strokes will suggest 

the rocky shoreline. The dark green of Hupper's Island in the 

background provides further negative shapes to  define  the walkway. 

This is a subject that needs no preliminary drawing. 

Knoth paints watercolors of Maine and whimsical animal scenes, which 

she offers as cards and prints. She teaches a free weekly children's 

drawing class, sponsored by Wendy and Keith Wellin, at Rockland Public 

Library. For more information about Knoth's work visit
