Emma-Jayne Holmes: Sketching in the Landscape Workshop Series

For ages 11-18

Saturdays 11am-2pm

£12 per workshop

Enhance your creativity and connect with the natural world on these series of short, sketching workshops!

These workshops are designed to take you on a journey through the landscape of North Wales. Over each season, you will be guided through forests, waterfalls, valleys and beaches which you will use as inspiration for a series of sketches and drawings.

During these workshops Emma will take you on a short journey through the landscape, looking at still life in nature and how you can recreate this in sketching. You will be working and experimenting with a range of materials for you to learn and discover your own unique sketching style.

These workshops are for anyone aged 11-18 who may want to enhance their craft, learn how to sketch, or try something new. Parents are welcome to stay for the duration of the workshop if they prefer.

Please do consider what you wear, sketching outdoors does require you to be prepared and as you may be standing to sketch for periods of time, so carry a spare layer. Waterproofs and a small rucksack are ideal. Consider hat and gloves. Wear sensible sturdy footwear, these are generally rural venues so please pack a snack and drink.

Please make sure to be at the site 5-10 minutes before the beginning of the workshop.

Emma will provide all the drawing materials, but please feel welcome to bring along anything you would like to use or would possibly like advice on.

Take the Ruthin road out towards Bontuchel/Cyffylliog. Take the left turn at Bontuchel, up to the car park.

Ending this series of sketching trips on a high point, the highest point of Clocaenog forest, walking up to the monument for far reaching views over the Clwydian, the Vale of Clwyd and out towards Snowdonia.

A short walk (30 mins) from the car park through shady woods onto open moorland, to the monument on top so plenty of time for drawing and painting.

Emma-Jayne Holmes: Cyfres o Weithdai Braslunio yn y Dirwedd

Ar gyfer 11-18 oed

Sadyrnau 11am-2pm

£12 y gweithdy

Ychwanegwch at eich creadigrwydd a chysylltwch â byd natur yn y gyfres hon o weithdai braslunio byr!

Cynlluniwyd y gweithdai hyn i’ch tywys ar siwrnai drwy dirwedd gogledd Cymru. Ar draws y tymhorau cewch eich arwain drwy fforestydd, rhaeadrau, dyffrynnoedd a thraethau a fydd yn ysbrydoliaeth ar gyfer cyfres o frasluniau a lluniadau. Yn ystod y gweithdai hyn bydd Emma-Jayne yn eich tywys ar siwrnai fer drwy’r dirwedd gan edrych ar fywyd llonydd ym myd natur a dangos sut rydych chi’n gallu ail-greu hyn drwy fraslunio. Byddwch yn gweithio ac yn arbrofi gydag ystod o ddefnyddiau er mwyn i chi ddysgu a darganfod eich arddull unigryw chi eich hun o fraslunio.

Mae’r gweithdai hyn ar gyfer unrhyw un 11–18 oed sydd efallai am wella eu crefft, dysgu sut i fraslunio neu roi cynnig ar rywbeth newydd. Mae croeso i rieni aros drwy gydol y gweithdai os ydyn nhw’n dymuno.

Ystyriwch beth i’w wisgo os gwelwch yn dda. Mae braslunio yn yr awyr agored yn gofyn i chi fod yn barod i sefyll am gyfnodau hir, felly dewch â haen arall o ddillad ychwanegol. Mae cotiau glaw ac ysgrepan fach yn fuddiol.

Ystyriwch ddod â het a menig. Gwisgwch esgidiau cryfion. At ei gilydd, gan fod y lleoliadau mewn mannau gwledig, dewch â phecyn bwyd a diod.

Sicrhewch eich bod yn cyrraedd y safle pump neu ddeg munud cyn amser cychwyn y gweithdy os gwelwch yn dda.

Bydd Emma-Jayne yn darparu’r holl ddefnyddiau lluniadu ond mae croeso i chi ddod ag unrhyw beth yr hoffech chi ei ddefnyddio neu efallai gael cyngor amdano.
