Flowers Workshop - Part 2

 

On the first day of our Flowers workshop, Part 2, with artist and instructor

 Jordan Wolfson, we began with drawing.

As Jordan explained, it will be different than the Part 1 sessions 

in that we will be exploring mark making, gesture, "making a mess" - 

not as much on the skills of finding form, geometry and structure, like last time. 

It will be much more of an "open exploration".

So here is my first effort using charcoal. 

I am still trying to find the space
around the bouquet and vase ... very hard!

Since I had been given some lovely Lilacs by my friend Hali this year 

(for the third year in a row) I decided to use them 

for the second class of the workshop.

I didn't have enough paper to have a
fully pink background,so try to imagine it.

Our second class was still in black and white, but in my case with oil paint.

The next 2 weeks will be exploring with color, so stay tuned!

thanks so much for reading! 🙏

all my best to you, and happy painting!
