Workshops with Diva!
For the past 10 years I’ve taught creative workshops (such beautiful weekend afternoons with Handcraft Studio School!), the ones below are my most popular, they are for everyone— no skillz necessary! And after the past few years of offerings on Zoom, I’m working on videos that you can watch anytime, a longtime goal.. Join my mailing list to be alerted when ready.
SKETCHING & WATERCOLOR En Plein Air !
We’ll meet IN PERSON in the Bay Area, I hope to make this a monthly offering! This first workshop will be at Blake Garden in Kensington, CA, Friday 1/28/22 from 2-4:15pm (garden closes at 4:30). Please Venmo class fee to @lineacarta then contact me to confirm payment with the link above. Limited class size, proof of vaccination required.
Let’s fill up our sketchbooks together! We will sketch and paint from nature— flora, fauna, & landscape, building on our Zoom Sketching & Watercolor sessions and expanding to new styles and subjects. I’ll talk you through my approach, giving technique suggestions but most of all support to explore and play (the keystones to a creative practice)! We’ll finish with sharing and discussing our work. You’ll also get a list of supplies to have on hand for class (including my latest favorites for on the go sketchbooking). Absolute beginners and seasoned artists welcome, color and nature therapy for all!
Beginning MODERN CALLIGRAPHY on Zoom with Diva
Let’s practice our ABC’s, get comfortable with our new tools, and learn some flourishes! We’ll also create a couple inspiring design projects. I will email you a simple list of my go-to supplies with links of where to buy if needed, as well as files to print out and use during our workshop. I have been teaching this workshop for over 10 years and still each time it is a magical thing to witness that beginner’s journey.. A challenging but very meditative practice, you might just get hooked ;)
Intro to BRUSH LETTERING on Zoom with Diva
Brush lettering is so loose and fun, and it can really pop on the page and screen (great for social media and branding)! We’ll have time to learn a few different lettering styles, incorporate some illustration, and finish a design project (or two). I’ll email you my list of supplies with links to purchase if needed, and also custom pdf’s to print out for class and practice. This workshop is a great follow up to my calligraphy workshop since we’ll be working with similar fonts. The more you practice the better you’ll get!
