In this workshop, participants will create a small series of drawings inspired by the famous bull studies by Pablo Picasso and works by Roy Lichtenstein. Beginning with a photograph of an animal, we’ll start by drawing it realistically, paying attention to form, proportion, and detail.
From there, each new drawing will gradually simplify, exaggerate, or transform the image—moving step by step toward abstraction. Along the way, we’ll look closely at Lichtenstein’s works on view in the galleries to see how artists reduce, stylize, and reinterpret familiar subjects while still capturing their essence.
This workshop invites experimentation, close looking, and creative risk-taking. Through studies like this artists are encouraged to explore how observation can evolve into a personal visual language. Open to all ages and experience levels.
