Workshop: Learning from a Master’s Study (Or the fine art of copying other people’s art to learn from them!) with Bonnie Dillard
This workshop will provide the opportunity to first look at and discuss two very different artists: the terribly famous Vincent van Gogh and the hilarious
contemporary artist and writer Maira Kalman - and then to copy their work. Bonnie
Dillard will guide participants in trying out the techniques and materials used by each artist to illustrate the satisfying and helpful exercise of creating a “Masters Study”.
