10:00 — 16:00
The Studio, Newlyn Art Gallery
In this day-long drawing workshop, recent Picture Room artist Jason Walker will guide you through a series of exercises, using simple tools and honing your observation skills. There will be plenty of one-to-one guidance and individual support throughout.
The day is split into two parts.
- PART ONE: 10.00 – 13.00
A brief introduction to Jason’s process in relation to the object drawings he made for The Picture Room, followed by a short demonstration.
You will then be guided through a series of drawing tasks, for you to practice using the tools and the measuring technique, covering mapping out and measurement, tone/value structure (how to create light) using a range of pencils.
After which you will settle down together as a group for a longer sustained drawing task, all drawing the same object, whilst deepening your understanding of mapping/measurement, tone/value structure in relation to the subject you are drawing.
- 13.00 LUNCH BREAK
- PART TWO: 13.45 – 16.00
In the afternoon, you are free to carry on with your drawing from the morning session or select another object (or objects) to work from. For this purpose, a selection of objects will be provided, but you may have an object at home you would like to draw, that you have perhaps tried drawing and got stuck with, you are welcome to bring it along.
Jason will provide guidance on how you can adapt the tools and techniques covered in the workshop to your own needs and ways of working and to a wider range of subjects – such as complex still life, portrait, landscape etc.
All drawing materials are provided, but you are welcome to bring in your own graphite pencils if that’s your preference. You will be working on A3-sized paper and with a pencil range 4H, 2H, B, HB, 2B, 4B.
£85 per person, max 12 participants, booking essential.
Please note: lunch is not included – you are welcome to bring your own or you can buy lunch from FIKA café in the gallery garden.
