Drawing Workshop

Tutored by an accomplished professional graphic designer with a Masters in Fine Arts, this workshop provides guidance in capturing the drama of the tropical environment in traditional charcoal, and the vibrant color in pencils or pastels. The unique flora of tropical gardens, bamboo, water vistas, and varied topography, the treehouse provides an ample subject matter to be captured on paper. No matter your skill level, the workshop will provide the student with an appreciation of how to convey the drama of the tropical light, forms and color and a sketchbook of ideas for further development.

Availability - limited to 8 participants. All meals, lodging, transportation, and easels provided. A suggested materials list will be forwarded to the student upon enrollment.
