All ages are invited to draw with Raleigh City Farm’s Artist In Residence in our outdoor studio space as she renders plants, herbs, and flowers as if leaping from the dirt of Raleigh City Farm onto her botanical drawings.
Each participant will receive:
a sketching kit
a packet of the artist’s botanical drawings
and a map of Raleigh City Farm to use as a guide to locate each flower and make your own sketch!
Rain Date: June 23, 2022

About the Artist
Julia Einstein is thrilled to call the vibrant city of Raleigh home after recently moving here from New England. This artist makes paintings described, “as if walking into a garden room” with an artist’s eye on nature in vivid compositions, elegant arrangements, and painterly surfaces. She is an artist and teacher who works to create a connection for interpreting --between maker and viewer. Her studio interest is in the painter’s world, the painted surface, color, and representing the inspired view. She says, “I put onto canvas what I love, the way light enters a space, how color changes from inside to outside. Flowers with an elegance of line, natural rather than cultivated, inspire me to paint from life. My studio is filled with flower portraits gathered, posed and painted. I love that quick capture of a flower's gesture & bouquets with a bit of wildness, arranged for dramatic effect.” For more info: www.juliaeinstein.com
