How do you get from inspiration to artwork?
How can you take artwork that you love in a museum or gallery and turn it into something that isn't just a copy?!
How do you sketch in public without everyone looking at you?
These are just a few of the questions we'll answer as we work in museums and in my home studio over 5 immersive days of art.
Here’s what you should know:
This workshop is intended for artists who already have an understanding of art materials and basic techniques are looking for the next step.
Some of the topics we will cover are: using a sketchbook to capture ideas, converting inspiration into artwork in your personal style, noticing patterns about what you like and don’t like, and understanding which inspiration-to-art methods work for you.
You will work in your own style towards your own body of work.
There will be two days dedicated to in-studio work.
There will be three days split between visiting museums and working in the studio.
Class will involve daily discussions, sketching, critique, art making, encouragement, and one-on-one coaching.
Basically, we are going to visit several of my favorite Boston-area museums (the ones that are a bit more off the beaten path) and you will learn how to draw in public (eek!), what kinds of things to look for to fuel your own artwork, as well as how to convert your scribbles (or fabulously perfect renderings) into artwork that isn't a copy.
You don't need to be able to draw. You don't have to have an existing sketchbook practice.
You do have to be able to stand (or carry a lightweight sketching stool, or other assistive device which you can sit on) in a museum and walk around for 2-3 hours.
