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

....a time for observation - fantastic workshop at Honeycomb Studios
Laurie Steen's inspirational workshop '...a time for observation' was a brilliant and informative day where students investigated working on different types of paper in graphite and charcoal and explored Laurie's particular methodology of treating paper with gesso and using low odour paint thinner and safflower oil to change the nature of the line and for over drawing. This intensive day included a series of drawings taken from leaves, branches and autumn flora and fauna, quick drawings, shadow drawings and very detailed macro drawings. Laurie is also one of the teachers on the forthcoming Drawing Weekend at DartmoorArts, 20th and 21st October. We look forward to welcoming Laurie back early in 2013.

Laurie Steen Workshop 1st October 2012
........ a time for observation,
Using objects from nature for our subjects, we will
delve into observational drawing, gesture drawing, shadow drawing and 1:1 drawing; while
experimenting with different drawing mediums. The process could be intimate and observational but
could also expand into personal and explorative drawings that become recordings of the
encounter and experience. We will also hopefully tap into our history and connection to
nature and use this to nurture and push our own figuration within the landscape. The process of
which is fundamental to drawing. This day might inspire if you have been wanting to move from
drawing the figure to drawing within the landscape.
Monday 1st October 9.30am - 4.30pm lunch and materials included £45.00
