Eight person maximum

How can we better see and understand the natural world through drawing? In this interactive online workshop, we will combine close sensory observation of our local neighborhood (or indoor!) flora with the act of mindful drawing, working in a range of mediums and easily-accessible techniques. Participants provide their own materials, and a list will be sent in advance.

Whether you’re an experienced artist or are just starting out, this is an opportunity to create intimate artworks that reflect the rich natural environment that surrounds us, wherever we may be. We will do a number of short studies to strengthen our perception of line, form, structure, and texture, and will synthesize techniques to produce one larger piece. No previous drawing experience is required, just a curiosity about exploring natural forms through sensory observation and markmaking.

This interactive online class is presented via Zoom, and is best experienced on a laptop or computer monitor with a large screen and webcam. Please download the free Zoom app on to your computer (www.zoom.us) prior to your first class. Payment is through the link below (PayPal) or personal check (please email me if paying by check).

Workshops require a 3-person minimum; if the minimum is not met seven days prior to the class, your tuition will be refunded.
