Summary

Workshop with Emily Windon

Thanks to Emily for holding a wonderful workshop on Friday 26 April 2013 at Nan Tien Temple. She began by giving us a presentation on her inspiration for creating her artworks then led us to the gallery to discuss her work “Bringing in of the Moon,” which is being exhibited at the Buddha’s Birthday Exhibition Project. Then Emily led us outdoors to the Lotus Pond where we sketched Lotuses and the surrounds with charcoal doing impressionist style drawings. It was the first time that I had sketched with charcoal and I found out that it is not that hard to get started. Everybody had an excellent time.
