Sketching with Relaxed Strength and Vitality Returning
for the 4th year
Experience the beautiful Northwoods environment and
translate it into lively, energetic sketches.
Understand the concept of the 'felt sight'(the 'thing'
the vacation snapshot always seems to miss) and learn
to react to what you see and experience with relaxed
ease, capturing all the strength and vitality of the
moment in dynamic sketches. This class will show how
to use mixed-media to quickly record the stunning
north woods moments with the easiest use of a
combination of materials. Learn to intermix pencil,
watercolor and color pencil, pen, pastel... find what
you personally are comfortable with and how to manage
the materials for an enjoyable day out sketching in
nature. Your work may be representational,
experimental or impressionistic, all levels are
welcome. There will be both studio instruction and on
location sketching, as weather permits. With 25 years
of teaching experience, Peggy has been a studio artist
for 38 years. Her work is in private collections
throughout the Americas and Europe. She is a published
children's book illustrator and a highly respected
nationally known muralist.
This workshop is specially priced to include: 6
breakfasts, 5 lunches, and 6 dinners plus some art
supplies. There will be a pontoon ride and full use of
the resort amenities also.
