  Drawing is one of the most fundamental forms of artmaking, with some of the earliest examples being the cave paintings in Lascaux, France from 30,000BCE. Drawing, since then, has evolved to become a powerful tool for artists to manifest their ideas into reality. WADA is committed to providing artists from all over Tampa Bay the resources necessary to sharpen this tool, hone their craft, and cultivate the artist community.

  The weekly Figure Drawing Lab is an opportunity that welcomes artists of all skill levels to practice with intention and work alongside professional artists. Space is limited, so when you register in advance, your place is guaranteed. The live models rotate weekly to keep the exercises varied and challenge the artists to improve each week.

  "Each drawing one makes is a step forward."

  -- Vincent Van Gogh

  Provincetown White Line Printmaking - An arts education workshop with Denise Cormier Mahoney

  History of the technique

  In 1915 a group of 6 women artists decided to spend their winter in the summer resort town of Provincetown, Massachusetts to work on a new printmaking technique. These women were all Japanese Wood cut Printmakers; a technique that uses separate plates for each color in the composition. These artists wanted to invent something that looked similar but used one plate versus many. White line printmaking was developed from this collaboration and is popular in the US today.

  The method utilizes a soft wood block as the printing plate. The image is transferred to the wood then each line is cut with a craft knife, making V-lines that appear as white lines in the finished product. The paper is tacked to the top of the wood plate with thumb tacks to create a perfect registration, making sure the paper falls in the exact same place each time. 

  Using watercolor onto the wood plate in one small area at a time, then folding the paper over and burnishing the back of the paper with a silver spoon, repeating the process until the print is complete. 

  White-line woodblock printmaking is the first printmaking technique unique to the United States.
