Hey Everyone!
I have open spots in an art class for a program that I coordinate. It'd be great to get some burners to join us. Info below. RSVP to me if you want to come out.
Outdoor Drawing: Exploring Natural Forms
Sunday, April 27, 1-4 pm
Instructor: Michael Sikes
Location: Meadowlark Botanical Garden, Vienna
We'll begin in one of the gazebos with an interactive demonstration of seeing objects as a collection of shapes and forms. We'll practice drawing some basic forms as a warm up. Participants will then stroll through the beautiful 95 acre garden, directing their attention to the various shapes and forms surrounding them, and choose their own subject matter to draw. With many blooming flowers, shrubs and trees there's plenty of inspiration for all. No previous experience is necessary. Participants of all skill levels and professions are encouraged to join. Please dress for the weather as we will be outdoors.
Supplies required: sketchbook of any size; pens, pencils, or markers; pencil sharpener and eraser if needed.
About the instructor: Michael Sikes is owner and operator of Eyespeak Tattoo in Fairfax. Working as a tattooist and painter since 1995, he finds his inspiration in nature. Drawing is not only the foundation for other creative endeavors but perhaps more importantly, a gateway to understanding the wondrous complexities of the natural world. Michael is a NEST 2006 alumni.
