Observation to Abstraction:
Two Day Drawing Workshop with Shelley Creech
Schedule
Saturday, August 3 and
Saturday, August 10
10:00-1:00
Course description
Drawing in a realistic manner and moving on to abstraction needn’t be a mystery! Varying degrees of abstraction are used in all drawing and design. This judgement-free, introductory class will bolster your confidence. We will each explore a natural object with freehand observational drawing and then figure out why and how to abstract it.
Participants will leave with at least one black & white drawing and composition that can be admired as is and could also be adapted for use in a future printmaking class of their choice.
Your instructor will give an overview of the classes offered at Tiger Lily Press. A simple hands-on demonstration of monotype will be presented on the second day.
Topics covered in class:
What is “successful” realistic or abstract art? Pointers to make yourself happy
Keeping a sketchbook, brainstorming, editing
Basic composition and design concepts
Parameters to consider when designing for various printmaking techniques
Ethical sourcing for art supplies
Course Agenda
Day one: We Draw!
We’ll start with some fun and friendly drawing exercises to loosen up, then pursue creative mark making with observational drawing techniques. Trying different media (ink droppers, markers, charcoal) will be encouraged!
Day two: We Design!
Using our drawings, we will learn techniques for creating an abstract
design/composition.
Materials list (provided by class fees):
Newsprint, bristol board, ink, charcoal, specialty pencils & markers to try, scissors, glue sticks, various mark-making tools
Materials list (student provides):
Please bring a small natural object (gnarly & complex objects are fun to draw!)
Sketchbook of mixed-media paper: 8 x 10 or larger (spiral bound recommended)
Black Sharpie markers (Ultra fine, fine and king size)
4B & 6B drawing pencils, kneaded eraser, brushes
(Your instructor will email you with more details/options).
Level of study:
Beginner or anyone that wants to draw with us
Helpful skills possessed by prospective students: A non-judgemental attitude is essential

Schedule of Classes:
Saturdays: 8/24 and 8/31 from 10am-1pm

Students will learn to create images and transparencies and how to expose these transparencies into the plates (using either the actual sun or the exposure unit). They will then be able to print an edition of five prints from these plates. All experience levels are welcome! No previous printmaking, drawing, or photography experience required
Topics covered in class:
- Creating transparencies for Solarplate etching
- Exposing and developing the plates
- Printing the plates
Course agenda:
Week 1: Demo on creating transparencies, exposing plates, and developing plates. Additional demo on printing the plates and curating prints
Week 2: Class time devoted to students working on their transparencies and exposing/printing their plates
Materials list (provided by class fees):
- Solarplates
- Brush to wash plates
- Magnet for printing plates
- Exposure unit
- Ink
