Drawing, drawing, drawing....

 Great Drawing weekend at Dartmoor Arts with Laurie Steen and Paul Thomas who set up the Jerwood Drawing competition. Two very different approaches. Laurie focused on observational and shadow drawing using a variety of drawing materials. Paul Thomas focused on subjective drawing on a large scale 4ft by 5ft using only charcoal and an eraser, creating a series of different marks and building up one drawing based on our subconscious influences and experiences over a period of 7 hours.  

10th November Drawing from the Heart with Louise Watkins 

The theme Louise has chosen for this workshop is based around the mysterious Japanese aesthetic Wabi Sabi, The opulence of late Autumn is the perfect time for exploring this elusive and rich concept, …. the Japanese art of finding beauty in the natural passing of time.  See earlier blog for more details. 

The day runs from 9.30am - 5pm and includes tuition, life model, all art materials and equipment, refreshments and a delicious lunch. Cost £50.00 To book a place contact   HERE
