Winter: "Isometric
-- A Different Perspective"
Winter is a time for introspection and thinking about how we
experience the garden. Through meditative drawing and painting,
we’ll use pen and
ink, and gouache or watercolor to address the isometric perspective
of the gardens of the Persian Miniature, working from digitals
of the Van
Vleck garden or your own.
4 Tuesdays in February: Feb 1, 8, 15, 22. 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Spring: "Becoming
the Landscape"
Celebrate the colors of the spring garden. This workshop series addresses
work “en plein air”: simplifying what you see, composition, the personal
limited palette, and learning how to render the landscape. We’ll work
primarily with pastels, but all media, including mixed media, are welcome.
4 Tuesdays in May: May 3, 10, 17, 24. 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
