Class Description:
Spooky Sketching is back! This Halloween-themed workshop will be equal parts art history, ghost story, and still-life painting as we explore the scary side of art supplies!
Special watercolor and drawing materials in the creepiest colors have been purchased for us to create with. We will explore these new materials and the stories behind them before spending the rest of our time sharing ghost stories and independently painting from a spooky still life. As an artist and art supply enthusiast, I will be there to guide you through the history of each creepy crawly color as well as to help with any artistic questions during the still life portion of the class.
Candy and supplies will be provided and a fun time will be had by all! All you need to bring is your spooky self and an optional scary story to share with the group. Happy Halloweeeeen!
Content Warning:
Unlike my other classes, this workshop will include a few paints that derive from animal products. There will be mentions of sensitive subject matter like: bodily fluids, illness, and death. We will keep the tone light and the gory details brief but please keep this in mind when signing up.
If you would like to avoid using paints with animal products, substitutions can be provided if advanced notice is given. Please email me after you sign up so I can set up a specialized palette for you :)
Vibe Warning:
If it’s okay with everyone’s eyesight, we will try and paint by candlelight! If it’s too dark, we’ll turn the lights on :)
