The Drawing Workshop: Abstracting Form & Color in Nature

Join us for a creative journey as we explore how to capture the beauty of the natural world through minimalist line, ink, and color! 🌼✨ In this workshop, we'll:

• Use flowers and natural objects as our inspiration, guiding you through a series of exercises that range from close observation to personal expression and abstract drawing techniques.
• Learn to simplify forms, make bold marks, and apply color selectively to enhance your artwork.
• Focus on expressive and gestural drawing to capture the essence of your subject, emphasizing form and light over intricate detail.

We'll take our skills outdoors for a brief session on the PNA campus, where you can apply what you've learned and share your creations and insights with fellow participants. 🖌️🌳 Walk away with newfound confidence in drawing from life, both indoors and outside! No previous drawing experience is required.

Skills You’ll Gain:

• Structuring drawings from life using line and abstraction.
• Techniques for simplifying forms and compositions.
• Using selective color to enrich visual appeal and meaning.

Guest Instructor: Teresa Stern, a Seattle-based visual artist with a background in architecture and sustainability.
