Essence of
A STILL LIFE

Working with a combination of drawing inks, watercolors and acrylics over charcoal, tape, oil pastel, graphite and wax, we will use varied tools to layer media and create small richly colored floral still lifes on Bristol board and watercolor papers. As we develop imagery that reflects each artist’s vision of a selection of garden botanicals, these sessions will focus on experimentation, composition, and loose and gestural abstraction of form, in addition to color juxtaposition and layering.
