The Sketchbook Exchange Project
The Northern California Society of Botanical Artists (NCSBA) will mount a Chapter exhibition of their sketchbook exchange project in the upper gallery.
The sketchbook exchange project was organized with the goal of providing a low-key, non-stressful opportunity to try out new ideas and connect with other artists. The focus was botanical art but with a more casual approach. All types of media were welcome and everyone was encouraged to experiment, explore, and enjoy creating in an atmosphere with few restrictions.
Participating chapter members sent small sketchbooks to each other every month during a ten-month period in 2022 to 2023. Over 30 artists are represented in the exhibition.
Events at Marin Art and Garden Center
On September 23, award-winning botanical artist Akiko Enokido will demonstrate the technique of adding transmitted light using watercolor and colored pencil on paper.
On October 6, join artist Lee McCaffree to do quick sketches in the gardens without concern for perfection. All levels of experience are welcome.
Virtual Studio Visits
Get an inside look and learn about one of the artist’s process and workspaces, in this virtual studio visit. Participation fee is $15 for ASBA members, $20 for non-members.
On November 8, travel to the UK virtually for a studio tour with artist Julia Trickey. Julia has hosted numerous artists and others in her own series of webinars, now we have a chance to host her and learn more about her own studio set-up, working methods, and techniques. The one-hour session will allow 45 minutes of tour and demonstration, and 15 minutes for a Q & A.
