Look to the Light:
a 2 day workshop, and a 6 week class in painting and drawing flowers

As the days get longer and the leaves and buds green in, the resilience and wonder of nature are a natural thing to meditate on! Since spring and fresh blooms really get rolling at different times in different places, and this class is geographically dispersed, we will start by working from great paintings by painters historical and contemporary, to study their strategies for working with this most delicate and fleeting motif. The latter half of the class will be spent painting and drawing from direct observation, and discussing our process and results!
If you are unable to make a 6 week commitment, the 2 week course offers a succinct condensed version — the two arre complimentary if overlapping!
