SECOND DATE: Another Murder of Drawings: Drawing & Painting Crows
Registration
Michael Peters
Saturday, October 29
10:00am – 4:00pm
This workshop has been so popular we’ve added a second date: Saturday, October 29th!
What 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 of 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-pastels, graphite, watercolour and acrylics, collage and more. Materials will be provided.
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, stupid, cunning, ambiguous” art!
Students should bring:
- An apron
