Drawing Plants in the Franciscan Monastery Gardens
A Workshop for All Experience Levels—Beginner to Advanced
June 20, 21, and 22, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day
Instructor - Mrs. Mary Ellen Carsley
Cost - $150
This weekend workshop, designed for artists of all experience levels (beginner to advanced), introduces basic drawing and compositional skills, as well as color, in a field-sketching environment. Students will perform a number of exercises designed to improve his or her eye and hand skills, in order to study the environment at several different scales of focus: from a vision of the landscape as a whole to the details on the bodies of its tiny residents. Students will learn about and select an insect/plant relationship and compose detailed pencil and pen and ink drawings as well as color sketches. Graphic design and various medium techniques for developing personal sketchbooks are demonstrated.
