This workshop will focus on the fundamentals of drawing out of doors. By simplifying our palettes and focusing on form, light and shadow, and compositional structure, we’ll develop a graphic sense of the landscape. Participants will work primarily with monochromatic media, including graphite, charcoal and Conté crayons.

| Joan Hopkins is co-owner of Golden Cod Gallery in Wellfleet, MA. She is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. Throughout her career she has often worked on a large scale, painting expressive landscapes based on many different places: Cape dunes and marshes; Western Massachusetts farmland; Scottish mountains; and Florida wetlands. The figure in the landscape, as well as the still life, have been prominent in her work. It wasn’t until she first returned to Jamaica in 1980 that she began painting specifically Caribbean themes, starting with large images based on memories of her grandmother’s garden at Blue Mountain. Rather than providing a simple tourist point of view, her paintings describe intimately familiar, material qualities of daily life in the tropics. |
