Linescape Art and the influence of Wainwright with Mark Richards

Tickets available soon
Mark will talk about the origins of his love of pen & ink drawing, who first influenced him and how he came to know Alfred Wainwright. He will then talk about AW’s technique, what he used and the draughtsmanship of his guidebooks. Before describing how Mark evolved his linescape art over the succeeding half-century in creating his own quite distinct pictorial guides.
This will be followed by a workshop for up to ten aspiring pen artists sharing ideas on how to use a dip pen and the effects at one’s disposal that are quite distinct from other art media.

Talk- £12
Workshop-£18
