Workshop Outline
People will not stay still, so we need strategies to get the story down fast! This workshop will focus on the figure within our sketchbook practice. Learn to do gestural notations of the humans that inhabit our spaces as well as slower, longer poses for more considered portraits. Practice with clothed life models in the studio, on timed poses. Draw the figure in the environment as we come across them in life, using pen and watercolour for portable and swift response to opportunities to draw anyone, anywhere! Using larger format A4 sketchbooks, longer be too scared to draw figures in your sketchbooks!
Deb’s art practice is 30 years young and involves drawing, painting, small sculpture and public art. Interested in objects and collections in both social and natural history, her artworks use gentle, offbeat narratives and a crisp aesthetic pointing to beauty, truth and grace.
Deb lives and works in a home studio on the Ipswich/ Brisbane border. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art from the Queensland College of Art, has had over 17 solo shows and been involved in more than 60 group shows in both regional and commercial galleries. Deb has over 15 years’ teaching experience and runs workshops and artist in residencies.
