NEW Workshop! - Drawing from the Masters

Copying master drawings is a rewarding way to improve your drawing skills.

This class will provide the opportunity to explore a variety of working methods and drawing media of past master draftsmen.The class will begin with a lecture on analyzing technique, followed by a brief demonstration of a traditional approach to drawing. The remainder of the day will be given to copying master works (via images via presentation), with the assistance of the instructor.

Students will go home with a drawing, new skills and many new resources for continued exploration!

Drawing materials will be supplied, but participants are encouraged to bring their own paper and pencils.

Instructor Information:

Shannon Walker is a painter, printmaker and draftswoman, who was born and raised in Palm Beach County. Her education includes a BA in fine arts from Florida State University and extensive continued studies in painting and drawing at The Arts Student League, New York, National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland, and with various independent artists in Europe and the U.S.. After years of practicing and teaching art abroad, Shannon returned to South Florida in 2023, where she is currently a resident Teaching Artist at the Norton Museum of Art.

In her practice, Shannon uses traditional, realist methods, combined with a healthy dose of experimentation, to capture the contemporary world around her. She tends to approach whatever she is working on as an ongoing exploration. Usually, it's humans that interest her the most. She paints people for the love of the human form, but more than that, in hopes of expressing what lies beyond the form: the human spirit and human experience.
