Step into a world of delightful distortion and curious proportions in this whimsical art class inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Participants will explore the imaginative realm of scale through the playful technique of blind contour drawing, (drawing while looking at the object, but not at the paper) creating expressive and unexpected outlines of figures and objects from the story—think tiny teacups, towering rabbits, and chairs that are comically out of size. Once the drawings are complete, we’ll bring them to life using loose, flowing watercolor washes that celebrate spontaneity and surprise—just like Wonderland itself. This class invites participants to embrace imperfection, play with scale, and enjoy the creative freedom that comes with letting go of expectations. Space is limited, registration is recommended. Please register each participant individually. Registered spots will be released to drop-ins the day of if not checked in within the first 15 minutes of workshop.
