Upcoming workshops
Eucalyptus lehmannii seed pods, Bushy Yates seed pods, Watercolor and Graphite on Vellum, Deborah Shaw 2018
Not Just Pencil and Paper (via Zoom), Deborah Shaw
April 15 & April 22, 2023 from 9 AM to 4 PM PDT
(Registration opens to members February 13th)
There is a lot more to graphite than a sharp point! Our workshop with California artist, Deb Shaw, will explore a variety of applications with traditional pencils as well as with new graphite media, including water-soluble graphite, graphite dust, liquid graphite and more! Learn how to create deep ranges of tonal values; white or light veins and hairs on dark petals and leaves; large areas of smooth, even tones; and detailed textures. Experiment with adding subtle color to your graphite drawings. These techniques work on paper, vellum, and film, and with colored pencils too!
This 2-day Zoom workshop will take place on two consecutive Saturdays. As an added bonus, Deb is offering two optional one-hour group Zoom meetings during which participants may get feedback about their work or ask questions. Students are welcome to email questions to Deb between the Saturday sessions as well.
Deb will mail each participant a small “goody bag” of samples that include powdered graphite, water-soluble graphite, a small section of a water-soluble graphite stick, BluTak, and more. The cost for these supplies and postage is included in the workshop fee.
This workshop is appropriate for all skill levels; beginners, intermediate and advanced artists are all welcome.
Deborah Shaw’s work has been displayed internationally in juried and non-juried exhibitions and is in the permanent collection of the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation and the Botanical Collections at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens.
