Art and Crafts

As well as creating a realistic likeness in a portrait, you will be shown how to produce an interesting and lively drawing rather than just a reproduction of a photograph. Although we will be working primarily in pastel pencils you will also have the opportunity to experiment with the addition other drawing materials including conté, pastels, coloured pencils, watercolour pencils, and charcoal. We will also be drawing figures where we will concentrate on producing some exciting images, focusing on dynamic drawings rather than striving to produce a likeness.

Although you will be shown how to simulate realistic skin tones and hair colour in a more traditional style of drawing, you will also be encouraged to produce drawings in a more contemporary style. There will be plenty of demonstrations throughout the course, and you will be given lots of individual attention. The course is for all levels of experience.

All reference material will be provided but please feel free to bring along any images that you would like to work from.

All drawing materials will also be provided, and all you will need to bring with you are some wet wipes, and tissues or kitchen paper.

On Friday afternoon there will be a light-hearted display and discussion of the work produced during the week.
