Two-Day Workshop

9:30 am - 3:30 pm

$170 Regular Tuition

$150 WAS-H Members Tuition

We will create a floral still life with students’ collaboration and use it for 2 days—please bring a favorite pot, vase, cloth or still life object AND (if convenient) some cut flowers, weeds, vines, plants from your garden, your favorite woodsy hiking area or your grocery store. The more unusual the better. We are interested in texture, color, variety.  If you can’t bring these, others will. Don’t worry!

We will draw each morning

We will paint and explore our materials after lunch

We will get messy so wear old clothes

Supplies needed:

• Plant material/flowers/pots. If everyone participates nobody needs to bring a LOT, just a nice variety.
• ·         Large paper for sketching each morning (sketch pad or newsprint)
• ·         A variety of black drawing implements that you already have: Charcoal, graphite, inktense, caran d’ache, pastels, stabile woody, etc. At least one chunky variety.
• ·         Your choice of paint: watercolor, acrylic, gouache, casein, whatever you love to use
• ·         Brushes that offer the biggest variety of marks—mops, flats, rounds, liners, pastry brushes, chip brushes, childrens’ paintbrushes
• ·         Any mediums you love to play with or want to try out—pastels, inktense, watercolor pencils, etc.
• ·         Watercolor paper or canvas (again, your choice), whatever size you are comfortable using. The larger the better!
