Wildflower 1-day Workshop
WILDFLOWER WORKSHOP
July 28 2024
10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
During this workshop you will participate in expressive drawing and painting, all inspired by the wildflowers that surround you on a rural 4 acre property in beautiful Prince Edward County. We will use a variety of mixed media including natural inks, charcoal, pastels, and acrylic paints to create large scale drawings of wildflowers. A series of exercises will guide you through accessing your intuition, and finding joy in the creative process. By the end of the workshop, you will have a series of 3 collaged drawings to take home. No prior experience necessary. All are welcome.
If the cost of this workshop is prohibitive to you, please reach out. I am happy to consider trades and discounts for those who feel this workshop could benefit their creative hearts.
