Reverse Garbage Still Life Drawing Party

In this workshop, we will take an experimental approach to the rich tradition of observational still life drawing, scavenging and selecting our subject matter from the treasure trove that is Reverse Garbage!

We will be collaborating to construct still life arrangements from reused objects selected by you and your fellow artists, exploring compositional tensions while bouncing off of each other’s creativity.

You will then make your own unique drawings from whichever arrangements or objects resonate with you.

RG Still Life Drawing is aimed at people at any stage in their drawing journey from beginners to practicing artists. The drawing will be guided, but expression and experimentation are encouraged: feel free to ask for as much (or as little) advice as you require. The sessions are facilitated by local artist Jaslyn Brown who will be there to assist with observational drawing techniques and approaches.

This workshop will inspire you to find beauty in the unexpected, all the while refining your observational drawing techniques and connecting with like-minded artists.
