Description

In this 90 minute workshop we will pay special attention to seasonal specimens that can be found in our everyday landscape, yes even in an urban setting. Leaves changing from green to yellow to red provide the perfect opportunity for practicing wet into wet techniques. Fruits ripening on the branches lead to volume and texture studies. If we are lucky, late summer rains will coax fungi to send forth their fruiting bodies – mushrooms – in all their various shapes and colors. More than just a lesson in watercolor technique, this workshop seeks to call attention to oft overlooked subject and strengthen your connection to even modest instances of nature in your immediate surroundings. -class is limited to 6 participants- all materials provided “Paying attention is an ongoing act of reciprocity, the gift that keeps on giving, in which attention generates wonder, which generates more attention—and more joy.” – Robin Wall Kimmerer (scientist, author, Citizen Potawatomi Nation)
