A morning of medium and mark-making exploration with artist Lesley Long-Leather.
About this Event

The tool you decide to use informs the marks you make as much as your own movement does. In this lesson, you will enjoy a two-hour tutored class exploring the capabilities of different dry media.

Learn how these can be used in figurative work to give you a new way of exploring the figure. You’ll come away with a host of different methods for approaching your subject and the medium you choose. This is a brilliant class for people of all abilities. Beginners can try new materials and experienced artists can come to loosen up and refresh their approach to dry media.
