Drawing
Abstracting a still life
With Catherine Trembath
Dec 5, 2026 | 10am - 1pm
Still life drawing doesn't have to be about getting every detail just right. If you've ever wanted to loosen up your style and explore a more expressive approach, this workshop is for you. We'll kick things off with a review of basic drawing skills and techniques, then draw inspiration from abstract still life works by a range of artists.
After some warmup exercises, you'll experiment with ways to draw more intuitively, using pencil, charcoal, and scissors to find your own expressive approach.
All levels welcome.
Supply List
pencils (HB, 4B and 8 B, or whatever B’s you have)
scissors
