Fee for students: $55 + Eventbrite fees

Online Workshop Hosted on Zoom

Instructor: Saraiya Kanning

Host and tech coordinator: Roseann Hanson

I’m please to be organizing a suite of four online workshops as part of the fall programming for the Desert Laboratory on Tumamoc Hill in Tucson, one of North America’s oldest field stations and the birthplace of the study of ecology. I’ll be teaching an introduction to nature journaling (see October 23-35).

In this workshop, Tucson artist Saraiya Kanning will teach you the foundational principles for ink drawing, including how to create the illusion of light and dark using various mark-making. You'll also learn the fun trick of playing with ink washes by using water-soluble pen and a brush. 

The saguaro-studded hills of Tumamoc will lend  inspiration for your drawings. 

Format:

On the Zoom web platform, Saraiya will begin the class at 9 am and teach through a combination so demonstrations and lectures.
