Description
Join Liza Isakov online for a four-week workshop filled with botanical inspired drawing and mark making. During the workshop you will be guided through a variety of drawing exercises and techniques, with a focus on sensitive mark making, and creating drawings from gathered foliage and plants.
As your guide and facilitator, Liza makes it her mission to clear away the obstacles that may be keeping you from diving freely into the creative world of still life.
The final session of the workshop will hinge on ensuring you are comfortable with these exercises. That way, you’ll have all the tools necessary to create a more refined yet expressive composition.
