Expressive Drawing Through Still Life
The subject of still life has attracted artists for centuries including Caravaggio, Matisse & Picasso. It’s a great way to practice techniques & observation skills. In this workshop we take a fresh modern look at still Life.
Its’ a drawing workshop for anyone who feels they long to free up their drawing to get more life energy and expression into their work and have fun along the way.
Join International Artist Linda Hollingshead, well known for her friendly, inspirational & enjoyable courses & workshops for this day of Expressive Drawing using a studio Still Life set up to draw from.
The workshop begins with a drawing demo & choice of materials. With an easy to follow practical drawing session which guides you through ways to loosen up with mark making to bring expression into your drawing, relax, have fun & get in the flow.
We explore the power of line and mark and the elements which make up expressive drawing using a range of drawing implements.
Linda will demonstrate how to begin a still life, simplify the subject & what points to consider. You chose a viewpoint of the set up which appeals to you the most.
Throughout the still life drawing session Linda is on hand to help & offer tips and advice where necessary.
