About this Event
Inspired by the sense of magical realism and quiet intensity in Petrina Hicks’ work in our current main gallery exhibition, this beginner-friendly drawing workshop invites participants to slow down and work intuitively with symbol and visual metaphor.
Beginning with gentle observational sketching in the gallery, participants will notice recurring motifs such as animals, stillness, reflection, and proximity, using these as points of curiosity rather than fixed meanings. In the studio, participants will create a finished drawing using pencil and soft pastel, focusing on tonal values, layering, and drawing from reference, while being encouraged to develop a personal and imaginative response to the exhibition.
