Expressive Drawing in Mixed Media with Jody Graham / 2 Day Workshop

Embark on a Transformative Two-Day Creative Drawing Journey!

Immerse yourself in a world of expressive, gestural, and innovative drawing techniques in this dynamic two-day workshop. This isn’t just about learning; it’s about experiencing a range of creative approaches, pushing boundaries, and enhancing your drawing skills through engaging exercises and exciting projects.

Over two enriching days, you’ll explore a variety of drawing methods—some quick and spontaneous, others more thoughtful and in-depth. We’ll experiment with line, tone, and mark-making, all while developing a stronger understanding of materials and composition.

Whether you’re aiming to expand your creative boundaries, refine your techniques, or reignite your passion for drawing, this workshop will leave you inspired and confident to push your artistic practice forward.

This workshop is suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced artists. Don’t miss the chance to elevate your work and broaden your artistic perspective!
