The Figure in Mixed Media workshop

Join instructor Linda Strickland for a two-day workshop, The Figure in Mixed Media, from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM on Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 in Brazosport Art League studio. The workshop will review basic figure drawing — capturing the gesture of a pose and placing the features on the head — by drawing with charcoal and painting in watercolor to start. Next, students will add collaged papers, other mediums, textures and designs, working in layers.
