EARTH COLORS Art Workshop with Mississippi Artist Robin Whitfield

April 6, 10:00 to 2:30 p.m.

Join Grenada artist Robin Whitfield (https://www.robinwhitfield.com/) for a delightful and fun-filled time exploring pigments found in nature, for example, from soil, leaves, bark, berries, flowers, mushrooms or mineral deposits. Participants will learn to identify and collect plant and mineral materials as artistic media. Natural materials will be gathered and sketched for visual ideas and elements reflecting a sense of place. Robin will demonstrate ways to extract color and texture from a variety of materials, and supplement what is gathered with other natural colors. Students will experiment with materials collected on the Arboretum grounds and learn processes of extraction and development of a color and texture palette. Cost for members $40, non-members $45. Please bring a bag lunch. Please register early, as this workshop is limited to only 15 persons.
