Description

Create watercolor paintings with the blind contour drawing method Who does not like cactus and plants??!! In this workshop you will learn how to use a pen to draw what you see with a method called “blind contour drawing”, then add your watercolor. You will be able to create the cactus or plants the way you see them in an abstract style. We will discuss the importance of developing technique with the pen and adding the watercolor to make your own style. We will also use different types of paper to see the effects of blind contour drawing on them. It’s a fun way for you to create what you see in an abstract way. Plus, we will all be framing our favorite piece to take home for everyone to see. Teresa Cook is born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida. She is an Abstract Architectural Watercolor artist and has been painting watercolor since 2012. She obtained a Bachelors in Fine Arts from UNF in 2012. Over the last 10 years, she has been traveling to different countries as well as around her native city. She creates mini watercolor abstractions, but she has always found pleasure in the landscapes and buildings that have been created over time. Each of her watercolor and ink paintings are created on a smooth paper called, “Yupo”, are meant to capture a moment in time without the interruption of people. You will not see human interaction within her art. She just traveled to Amsterdam for the 2019 Urban Sketchers Symposium, and working on Paris, France for 2022. She is an Art Instructor as well, and her workshops are now in session for 2022. Cultivate is Jacksonville's neighborhood urban supply store with a commitment to US made, healthy-lifestyle products.
