Bridges to Seeing: Ferns and Foliage

In this class, we will use observation to create seemingly abstract images by focusing on the shadows, contours, and negative space found in the garden. We will set up along the garden path to draw from observation, explore shapes, and work with a range of drawing materials in a series of guided drawing prompts ranging from 30 seconds to 20 minutes.

Organized by

Drawing Herd is an observational workshop series hosted by Coco Allred. Taking place in downtown Seattle and parks across King County, the project aims to give participants new ways to cultivate attention with particular emphasis on the bioregion and historical context of each site. Each class is co-taught with special guests whose expertise ranges from parkour tricking to choreography to atmospheric science.

All classes are free and supplies are provided!

The 2024 series is funded by the Downtown Seattle Association, the City of Bellevue, and the City of Sammamish.
