Farmer's Market Watercolor & Mixed Media Workshop

  • Oak Park Art League 720 Chicago Avenue Oak Park, IL, 60302 United States (map)


Celebrate the farmers market season by spending a day drawing, painting and creating watercolor and/or mixed media pieces of fresh produce and flowers from the Oak Park Farmers Market. We will warm up with drawing, then do a series of still life studies with your media of choice, with quick lessons on color, texture and composition. Participants are invited to bring something from the farmers market to add to the still life.
