    <product_content><![CDATA[Explore how light and shadow can turn the everyday into art. With a drink in one hand and a pencil in the other, you'll create your own still life or abstract interpretation inspired by the forms and textures of local produce and gastronomy. You'll explore the power of contrast, light, and shadow, the timeless language used by impressionists, realists, and abstract artists alike. Guided by local artist and instructor Nicholas Enevoldsen, this workshop is perfect for beginners. Nicholas will begin the session with a crash course in essential drawing techniques, from how to hold and experiment with your tools to capturing depth and dimension through tone.

The lesson will also include an introduction to key art terms in French.Participants are also invited to join the drawing group for a special visit of the Farm to Table exhibit on January 17, the following day.
