This workshop will introduce you to a wisdom, that to draw something is to fully understand it; a fact-finding mission through a drawing/design process. Let’s together realize that drawing connects us to our experience, with an intimacy not otherwise possible. One simply holds a mark making tool in one’s hand and the artist’s touch becomes elemental and we can see how much an artist can do with a pencil, a pen, a brush, a stick. Importantly, we will learn how distinctive each artist’s language of mark making can be. Utilizing tools of watercolor, pastel, charcoal, and graphite in design, our investigations will open your awareness to a successful studio practice. It will be an adventure, come on along for a ride; ‘into the wilderness’.
