Fantasy & Art Nouveau Illustration with Charles Vess

Bring your vision to life in this fantasy illustration workshop series with renowned illustrator, Charles Vess. Participants will work in graphite, pen, ink, watercolor, and more to create unique 9×12″ illustrations inspired by fantasy and/or Art Nouveau themes. The class will begin with a tour of the exhibit, The Art of Advertisement: Art Nouveau Posters of the Late 19th Century, followed by a Art Nouveau talk by Charles Vess.

Participants will develop sketches, then return for three additional class periods to complete their illustration with drawing and color. Upon completion of the class, Art Lab staff will scan each illustration and create a reproduction print of each artwork for each participant. After this process, participants will return to pick up their original art as well as copies of all their classmate’s art for their very own mini collection of fantasy illustration!

All supplies included. Participants who prefer to work digitally may do so with their own tablets. Homework may be encouraged!
