Narrative Drawing Workshop with artist Ian Brownlee

Artist Ian Brownlee leads a workshop on the history and technique of narrative drawing, as part of Art + Culture Week Seattle. Please join AMcE Creative Arts for an afternoon with exhibiting artist Ian Brownlee. Ian is currently featured in AMcE’s exhibition, Self. Reflexive. Ian’s workshop will include a brief history of narrative drawing, followed by a drawing session that will culminate in a group drawing exercise. The emphasis is on individual work becoming a collective project. Materials are provided, and participants will take home their art, along with photos of the finished piece. About the artist: Ian Brownlee is a storyteller whose figurative paintings autobiographically explore significant life events, with enough ambiguity and allegory to become universal tales. The paintings utilize multiple styles and genres, including American folk and Buddhist art. He received his MFA from the University of Washington, Seattle, WA, in 2025, and his BFA from the Atlanta College of Art, Atlanta, GA, in 1999. He has exhibited his work in shows across the country, including New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Ian also recently returned from an artist residency in Rajasthan, India. Ian lives and works in Seattle, WA. More about Art + Culture Week Seattle.
