Event Details

This workshop will involve getting into a daily habit of nature-drawing in the context of a sketchbook. With a simple kit of materials you can carry with you everywhere, you will discover that you can be opportunistic about drawing from the natural world and this can help get us into daily creative habits of observation, discovery and wonder.

This class will run through different drawing exercises each day and practise these skills. We will explore the versatility of pen, ink and watercolour as fast and fun ways to record what we observe in the natural world. We will look at mark making and try different types of ink media in soluble and non-soluble form with the addition of quick watercolour washes and glazes. Our subject matter will include found natural objects, taxidermy and field trips.

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 BA Fine Art from the Queensland College of Art and 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.
