Urban Lichen Sketch Walk! Please RSVP via my CONTACT PAGE!
Category: Workshop/Class
Price: Free
Venue:
CORE Gallery, Prefontaine Place South, Seattle, WA, USA
Art and Lichen, what’s not to like?
Activate your senses with artist Andrea K. Lawson and naturalist Katherine Darrow as we explore, observe, and sketch the microworld of lichens in the Pioneer square area of Seattle. We’ll meet at Core Gallery where you will have the opportunity to view Andrea’s lichen inspired Symbiotica art exhibit. Andrea and Katherine will demonstrate a few nature journaling tips and spend a short time looking at lichen samples, learning what makes them unique. We will then venture forth in search of lichen on city sidewalks, buildings, rocks, and trees. We’ll observe and notate their color and shapes in our sketchpads and create our own mini field guides and lichen color palettes. Find new ways to see and appreciate the beauty of these tiny organisms found growing in unexpected and seemingly hostile places!

Sketch walk 2-4 PM
