Art Workshop This Weekend at Franklin Commons

The Art Gallery at Franklin Commons in Phoenixville invites local artists to spend Saturday morning learning to draw an outdoor landscape. Space is still available at the gallery’s Plein Air Workshop taking place April 11 in the outdoor campus walkway.

The class, led by Malvern artist Randall Graham, will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and provide students tips on how to choose the best locations and improve drawing techniques.

The instruction will be a combination of demos, lectures and the creation of individual pieces. This class is geared towards techniques in charcoal/graphite, pastel and watercolor.

The workshop is suitable for all artists from beginners to advanced. Guests are encouraged to bring their own materials, but items will be provided if necessary. Since the class will be in a shared environment, visitors are asked to not bring oils and acrylics.

Admission to the workshop costs $45. Additional workshops will be available May 9, 4 to 7 p.m. and May 23 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
