SUMMARY:Botanical Drawing: Mixed Media Explorations
DESCRIPTION:This three-session studio intensive is a deep dive into color relationships — observing\, interpreting\, and marking with greater fluidity than you’ve allowed yourself before. Working with graphite\, watercolor washes\, and colored pencil\, you’ll slow down and study the nuances of hue\, value\, and light that everyday looking skips past entirely. Color asks more of the eye than greyscale ever does: every hue carries its own inherent value\, and nothing renders true until that relationship is actually seen — through sustained\, focused attention\, which is in itself a visual art technique. Join me as we study early December light — remarkably different from late winter\, early spring\, even summer. Sessions move between indoors and the field\, weather permitting\, so dress for the season. Specimens are chosen collaboratively\, discussed ahead of each session\, with an emphasis on working from life: continuing to deepen our connection to the natural world through mark-making. Expect a relaxed\, experimental\, inquiry-based studio — space to explore your own artistic voice as you continue to deepen it. A pre-class study page exercise gets your pencil miles back up before session one; details in the supply list. This class is designed to be taken more than once: each offering rotates seasonal subjects and media emphasis. \n See prerequisites and class supply list below. \n\nFees: Member $231\, Non-Member $284 \nAll programs are subject to change. Pre-registration through our website is required. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners. If you would like to request an accommodation to support your participation in an adult learning opportunity at the Garden\, please contact registrar@lewisginter.org or call 804-262-9887 x328 and we will make our best effort to help.
