Concentrating on winter colours, we will find a way to mix natural looking tones to add drama to an otherwise cool or uninteresting picture. We will look at finding a good subject and looking at ways to use an unpromising photograph and turn it to our advantage. Suitable for all abilities.
Looking at a typical country parish church for inspiration, we will use this to flex our drawing skills and graphic mark making techniques. In this workshop we will learn how to choose a good subject and to simplify complicated perspective problems into easy shapes, freeing us from the agony of technical "sizing-up" problems. Once the workshop is over, you will be inspired to go out and find more subjects to fill your sketchbook. Suitable for all abilities.
Looking closely at the common whelk, we will use coloured pencils to capture this most gorgeous treasure found on our beaches. Surprisingly tricky to draw, we will look at ways of using simple geometry to define the correct shape before using botanical illustration techniques to apply layers of colour to work up the tones and create the illustion of depth. Suitable for all abilities.
Join us for a workshop with an emphasis on detail - this week we look at a common houseplant, the begonia. We find ways of drawing out the shape with accuracy, before going on to selecting the best colours and techniques to describe the foliage. For all those who enjoy botanical illustration, and suitable for all abilities.
