Murder of Drawings: Drawing and Painting Crows
Registration
Michael Peters
Sunday, October 29
10:00am – 4:00pm
What a better time than the month of “All Hallow’s Eve” to explore your creative, dark side with a bold and expressionistic day of making fantastic birds — full go cunning and imagination, myth and magic! In this one-day workshop we’ll explore creating crows, ravens, and rooks, maybe even some magpies and treepies, using mixed-media drawing and painting tools, including: charcoal, India-ink, chalk-pastel, graphite, watercolour and acrylics, collage and more.
We’ll work in all sizes and everyone will have a take-away piece of art to hang on their walls or on their doors for Halloween night! Come and make some “bold, comical, grotesque, cunning, ambiguous” art!
Students should bring:
- An apron
