It breeds excitement and enjoyment of the process. \nI like the mix of people and their art. \nIt is free and fun. \nI like that I can get into the flow of art and forget the stressful world. \nI look forward to stepping into another time and place. It is a magical experience to visit this special piece of land at the foot of Mt Tam. \nBeing with people who care about art and artists is something I find worthwhile.

Or\, in the words of Ann O’Hanlon\, our purpose is “to look upon a seemingly random work of our own with interest” and with “the same fulfillment… experienced on an unknown wilderness trail.” \nSundays\, 10 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.\n$55 | $44 OHCA members + \n$10 materials fee paid to facilitator on day of workshop \nPlease bring a sack lunch and beverages as there will be a lunch break! \n7 people MAX\n \nART DETAIL: JANET GREENWOOD\n \n\nAbout Candis Cousins \n  \nCandis Cousins first came to the Center in 1972. Ann O’Hanlon was alive and at that time the Center was called ‘Sight and Insight.’ On Candis’ first day\, Ann’s suggestion for working was this: “Every decision you make\, try to make the wrong decision.” \nIn 2002\, Candis returned to OHCA to join the mono printing group led by Cayen Robertson and Karen Cox. In her own work\, Candis tries to keep moving forward without a plan\, just to see what comes. \n  \n“It is such an invigorating\, soul-finding experience to facilitate this workshop. A love-fest\, a laugh-fest on the high seas of creativity!” \n– Candis \n  URL:https://www.ohanloncenter.org/event/monoprinting-with-candis-cousins-4-21-2024/ LOCATION:O’Hanlon Center for the Arts CATEGORIES:Visual Arts ORGANIZER;CN="OHCA Staff":MAILTO:office@ohanloncenter.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240422T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240422T173000 DTSTAMP:20260409T120425 CREATED:20240331T001624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240331T001624Z UID:20002075-1713801600-1713807000@www.ohanloncenter.org SUMMARY:Drawing for Teens – with Laurel Shear (2024 series 3) DESCRIPTION:Light\, tone\, line\, pattern\, mass\, perspective\, abstraction and composition\nMondays: 4 to 5:30 p.m. \n6 weeks\, 2024 Series 3: \nApril 15\, 22\, 29\nMay 6\, 13\, 20\n \nIn this 6-week series we will use a range of drawing materials.
