About this Event

SECRETS OF SEEING: Drawing Flowers

RECORDING ONLY - Available to watch immediately until the 21st July 2024

Taught by Joshua Armitage and hosted by Frances Stanfield

We believe that learning the simple secrets we share can give anybody the boost in confidence they need to continue to express themselves creatively.

In this class we will make a range of drawings of flowers. Through the artistic practices of artists like Georgia O'Keeffe, Winifred Nicholson and contemporary artist Tom Allen we will look at how your observational drawings don't always have to look exactly like what you are looking at as well as new ways to look at colour.

For this class Josh will be using pencils and watercolour paints on cartridge paper.

Joshua will share lots of ideas and techniques from his experience as a painter and drawing teacher. He will help you to gain a new found curiosity in the way you see the world around you and confidence in being able to capture it in drawing.

Suggested materials:

Pencils
watercolours if you have access to them (other colours will be fine too)
Any paper

This class is suitable for all levels!
