Enchanted Botanicals

Taught by:

Jenny Brown

Offered:

Tuesday June 18

Wednesday June 19

Thursday June 20

Friday, June 21

Experience level: Open to ALL

In this workshop, Jenny will lead us on an enchanted exploration. We will use a range of materials including pencil, pen, ink, and watercolor, among others. This is a unique process that functions as part of Jenny’s daily practice in her own artwork. She is delighted to be able to share it with us in the magical meadows of Norway.

Together we will venture out for some plein-air drawings which both strengthen our relationship with the natural world and will provide a starting point for our work. We will identify elements from these early sketches and studies which will then be developed into more focused work.

The heart of the class is to first, connect with our emotional response to the visual cue in front of us and then, second, translate that into a deeper—perhaps surprising—visual response.

By the end of the workshop, we will have a new approach to use in our art practice that amplifies the felt experience of the natural world around us.
