DRAW & PAINT FOR YOU
WITH MANDY THOMSON
During the three hours, we will learn about art materials, explore mark making, tone, shading, texture and form. Using charcoal on paper, we will work towards creating a finished drawing, which can be mounted, wrapped and taken home. We will also explore using ink and soft pastels. We will carry out a range of different techniques, approaches and exercises. We will draw from life using various objects, and learn how to really look at and translate an object. We will explore finding our own creative language and discover what we enjoy. Through demonstrations and guidance, I will provide feedback to help you achieve the most from the workshop. All starter materials are provided for you to take home and continue with your practice. There is no need to bring anything with you, however, I would encourage you to bring along any objects or references you would particularly like to draw.
