Drawing as Seeing and the Acceptance of Chaos: A Sumi Ink Wash Drawing Workshop with Heather McLaughlin
Jun 10 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm

Workshop Series at The Sou’wester

Drawing as Seeing and the Acceptance of Chaos: A Sumi Ink Wash Drawing Workshop with Heather McLaughlin

Drawing is a way of seeing, a way of understanding and an exercise. This drawing workshop will focus on plenair (on-sight) observational drawing the beautiful and chaotic material: sumi ink.

 

The ink is an excellent tool to capture light and shapes, as compared to the way pencils and pens lead themselves to more contours and patterns. This special ink has rich, deep blacks that are easy to swoon over. During this 3 hour workshop students will complete multiple small drawings using the Sou’wester grounds as their muse and model. We will cover techniques for recording scale, light and shapes while practicing plenair drawing skills and increase our understanding and mastery of the sumi ink medium.

After high school, she continued west to Portland Oregon and continued her studies at Pacific Northwest College of Art.

Kendra McKinley
Jun 10 @ 8:00 pm

Kendra McKinley perceives a song like a painter views a blank canvas: an opportunity to expand an audience’s mind, to wash their thoughts in brilliant hues of blue and violet, scarlet reds and effusive orange. Inspired by the past but not chained to it, McKinley’s music spans the diverse spectrum of pop music. She echoes the intricate vocal arrangements crafted by Brian Wilson, fractures the narrow definitions of a genre like St. Vincent, and recognizes storytelling as the key aspect of a great tune the way the best singer-songwriters have for generations.

 

“Kendra McKinley is a rising star in San Francisco.” – Annie Bacon, SF Critic

“Her 1960s chamber-pop sound and strong, undulating vocals — which slightly resembles St. Vincent (Annie Clark) — will make you feel like ditching work to skip through a field of sunflowers with your new lover.” – Melissa Hellmann, The Bold Italic

“…McKinley is no throwback act – her sound may echo the past but she belongs firmly in the present.” – Nick Schneider, The Bay Bridged

 

This event is free and open to the public!
