Summer Week-long Retreat at Artelier!
Looking for a creative getaway not far from home? Why not spend a week at Artelier exploring and experimenting with a diverse range of materials? Drawing Development Week will focus on everything from observational drawing in traditional mediums such as charcoal and graphite, as well as mixed media and chalk pastels.
Drawing Development Week is the perfect retreat if you’re looking to revitalize your drawing practice, sharpen up your observational skills, or embrace a new medium altogether. Throughout the week we’ll make studies based on still life and create portraits from a clothed live model.
Most materials will be included in the supply fees, however we encourage you to bring any additional materials that you would like to use throughout the week.
4 days of artmaking with 3 different instructors!

Wednesday: On day 2 we’ll continue to drawing from observation using a clothed live model as reference. Asal Andarzipour will lead you though expressive ways of depicting the human form and drawing fabrics.
Thursday: Join Asal Andarzipour midweek where we’ll be bringing fantasy into portraiture, and imagining beyond inital appearances. We will use multimedia and collage techniques to go beyond realistic art.
