This workshop will explore various drawing disciplines
and principles—gesture, contour, measuring,
perspective, rendering—while emphasizing the
essential use of, and expression of specific tools.
Students will be guided to investigate the full
potential of various dry media such as charcoal,
conte, graphite on various surfaces. For an all
day immersion into the practice of drawing and painting,
this workshop can be combined with Franny Golden’s
Color as Composition painting workshop, which meets
1-4PM August 7-11 (see under painting classes.)

"As
a painter I am committed to process as a necessary
part of personal individuation – and the completed
painting. So my paintings reveal that process: lines,
drawings, failed efforts remain – emerging through
the layers. They are variations of still lives, interiors,
portraits; they are visual journals; they are from
times and moments in my life."" |
