Place and Color: Drawing with Stencils
with Megan Broughton

In this workshop you will create simple stencils depicting objects of your choosing of local importance (Sutro Tower, Claude the Albino Alligator, Transamerica Pyramid, trees, the outline of San Francisco, etc). These will become group materials used by yourself and others to create color pencil drawings. We’ll build up shapes and overlap colors to create abstracted works with local significance. Using communal stencils will help you to think beyond your own ideas, tools, and plans. You’ll chat about the Arctic influences and local connections behind Megan Broughton’s experimental etchings on display, “Ice Watch Studies,” also made using stencils to abstract imagery. Materials will be provided, bring your imagination!

This workshop is made possible with support from the Law Offices of Cavin & Marks.
