Description

This workshop has been specifically designed and tailored for those eager to learn drawing and painting techniques, while developing essential skills and establish an artistic foundation.

Whether you’ve never picked up a pencil before or are wanting to refine your techniques, this workshop offers a welcoming environment to learn and explore.

The fee includes everything:

  • All art mediums

  • A variety of papers

  • Morning tea

Throughout this 3 & 1/2 hour workshop, you will engage in hands-on exercises that cover:

  • Drawing techniques - familiarise yourself with essential mark-making, shapes and textures, all while building confidence in your drawing skills. You will experiment with a variety of lead pencils and pastels and create a Still Life using the contour drawing method using various drawing mediums.

  • Value – learn to recognise values in objects to categorise shapes, which will help you understand tonal shading and enhance realism in your artwork. You will draw and render still life objects using a 3-step value scale.

  • The personality of Charcoal - explore how charcoal creates bold artwork by emphasising shades and tonal values. Engage in mark-making exercises to uncover its potential, while noting that its messiness and tendency to smudge contribute to its expressive nature. You will use charcoal to create a landscape.

Each exercise is thoughtfully created to help you develop your knowledge, build your skills and develop your unique style.
You will be encouraged to explore and express and above all, avoid perfection.
Join us for a fun-filled, laughter-infused creative escape into the joy of making art! Let your artistic adventure begin!

Just bring a smile and get ready to enjoy yourself!
