SITKA CENTER 2023
Sitka Center for Arts and Ecology
Abstract Sketching and the Creative Process - 2 day workshop
August 23-24, 2023
I'm very excited to be invited back to teach at Sitka Center, in Neskowin, Oregon for 2023
In this 2-day workshop, we will explore a wide variety of processes to open and expand your creativity. With Sitka's rich, natural environment as our muse, we'll use unconventional methods with line, color, form, and mark-making to shift perceptions and perspectives of what we see. It's a focus on process rather than product, to break out of old patterns and pre-conceived ideas of how we paint and draw. We'll work fast-paced and loose, (need to get ahead of the inner critical mind!) with simple art supplies like watercolors, pen, markers, graphite and sticks dipped in ink. A fun and challenging class for students of all levels of experience who want to expand their own creative process.
Sitka Center is taking the necessary steps to ensure a safe learning environment for students and staff during
COVID-19. Updates and registration information will be posted directly through their website.
