LIFE DRAWING with Felicity Lovett,
Felicity is able to offer another 3 sessions in September on a Thursday morning. This time she will focus on specific drawing media.
Week 1: Graphite - working with drawing pencils and graphite sticks to
explore body proportions, measuring techniques, and building up tone.
Week 2: Charcoal and Pastels - Using willow charcoal, charcoal pencils,
and pastels to explore more textural and heavily toned drawing
techniques
Week 3: Ink - Exploring the gestural, fluid properties of brush and ink as
well as markers and pens to expand the parameters of drawing media
All exercises and technique exploration is optional if you would rather just 'do your thing'.
