Creating Playful Landscapes Through Texture, Color and Curiosity with Claudia Solis
Couldn't load pickup availability
Wednesday, July 16, 5:00 - 6:30pm PT
This is an online workshop held via Zoom.
Grab some paper or a sketchbook and something to draw with! We will hang out and look at some pretty scenery, work on some timed drawings to loosen us up, and then move onto a larger drawing or painting. This is often a process that I use to loosen up and quiet that internal voice that is negative and wants everything to be perfect. The larger landscape drawing or painting at the end of our session will be created by using our work as reference, the colors and textures we explored, and our imagination.
Join Zoom 15 minutes early for an informal meet and greet with the instructor and class participants! Class will begin promptly at 5 minutes past the hour, so everyone has plenty of time to create!
