About this Event

Discover how to bring your sketches to life using light, shadow and texture at this in person drawing workshop.

Through demonstrations and individual guidance, you'll learn how to observe and sketch proportions, build depth through shading and highlights, and capture the character of different surfaces and textures.

You'll explore a range of drawing techniques using pencils, graphite and pen. We'll also experiment with toned paper and white pencils to create highlights and explore the contrast between light and dark.

Suitable for all levels, this workshop offers a relaxed and informative way to develop your drawing skills.


What to bring:

  • A Sketchbook
  • A range of pencils including HB, 2B and 4B or softer
  • Fine liner pens - at least one medium nib and one fine nib
  • Any other favourite sketching materials

Where to meet:
We will meet at 10.15 in The Dorothy and Michael Hintze Galleries, Location 21. This on the right if you arrive by the tunnel entrance. If you arrive by the Cromwell Road entrance then head towards the shop, walk straight through the shop and turn left.
