A still life will be set up as a starting point for creating images by observation. Then warm up into making works based on imagination, filling the page with lines, shapes and colors. The instructor will share her techniques of building layers and experimenting with drawing tools to gradually develop with each work. A series of small 5 by 7 inch drawings on paper become a way to exercise your artistic expression. At the end of the workshop, participants will have created a series of mixed media works on paper. A supply list will be provided.
