There is something powerful about drawing and painting eyes, whether human or animal. They reflect our soul and allow us to perceive the world. Humans have painted them since the beginning of time as talismans, in abstract form, and in realistic interpretations to capture an individual personality.
Join us this Sunday in an easy and fun group project where you can learn how to draw and paint eyes. We will be painting with watercolor and tempera paints as well as layering with colored pencils to achieve more detail. There will be reference photos of various human and animal eyes, but we will also take turns painting them from life!
The class is free flow so you can be as realistic or as stylized as you want to be. The goal is to make a few drawings and paintings so you feel comfortable and adept at it. They also make great gifts for those you love, so if you have a photo of a friend or loved one, you can make a painting for them!
This project is part of an ongoing large scale assemblage piece that is a collage of many eyes. Those who want to contribute to it can leave behind a drawing and painting. The greater assemblage will be displayed in the gallery in the fall.
