​​​Join us at The Edge Wilson Gallery for an inspiring, hands-on workshop led by our current exhibiting artist, Ben Bridgers. His depth and breadth of knowledge, experience and success is detailed on his artist's page on our website.

​

In this unique session, “Seeing and Imagining,” Ben will guide participants through a creative drawing process that begins with observation and moves into the realm of imagination. His drawings are are part of the process of creating his mind-blowingly detailed and ingenious oil paintings.

 

Working from a still life or tangible subject, attendees will explore ways of loosening visual expectations through a series of prompts designed to engage memory and intuition.

 

The goal: to create drawings that move beyond representation and reflect each participant’s inner vision, which is something many of us strive for, but are not trained to tap into.

 

This workshop is open to artists of all skill levels who are curious about exploring and expanding their creative approach and deepening their connection to both what they see and what they feel.  

​

This is an opportunity to make art while and enjoy being surrounded by Ben Bridgers' awe-inspiring, emotionally compelling paintings.

 

After the Workshop, Ben will be giving a tour of his exhibit, answering questions, and sharing the "behind the scenes"stories and insights into his paintings.Spaces are limited.
