Experimental Drawing from Nature

About

Join Wiltshire-based artist, Jo Beal, for an experimental drawing workshop.

Explore and capture the form, colour, textures and shapes of seasonal plants and flowers using a range of pens, pencils, inks and mark making tools in this fun and experimental workshop.

Date: Friday 10 November
Time: 10am - 4pm

Meeting point: Art Hub (the old Classroom, through Toad Hall)

With seasonal plants and flowers as our inspiration, begin the day drawing from observation using found mark making tools to capture the main characteristics of beautiful, natural subjects.

Gradually, hone-in on textures, colours and markings using coloured pencils and chalk pastels. This workshop is suitable for beginners and anyone wanting to develop their skills. Throughout the day explore a number of drawing techniques, for example line drawing, cross-hatching and shading. With top tips on tools and techniques you will gain confidence in your drawing, make new friends and have fun along the way!

Cost: £75 per person, this includes materials, admission to Slimbridge Wetland Centre and a £5 voucher to spend in the Kingfisher Kitchen or kiosks.
