Workshop Outline

This course will involve getting into a daily habit of drawing in the context of a sketchbook. With a simple materials kit you can carry everywhere, you will discover that you can be opportunistic about drawing and this can help you make daily creative habits of observation, gratitude and wonder.

We will run through different drawing exercises each day and practise our skills. We will explore the versatility of pen, ink and watercolour as a fast and fun way to record what we observe around us from still life to the figure, on the fly and from life. We will look at mark making and try different types of ink media in soluble and non-soluble, with the addition of quick watercolour washes and glazes. Our subject matter will include found objects, live models and field trips outside.
