Come along for an enjoyable workshop exploring different elements of still life drawing. I have been an artist for 40 years, a finalist in ‘Works on Paper‘ in the Fishers Ghost Art Competition and held a successful exhibition in the Palm House gardens in the Sydney Botanical Gardens. I look forward to sharing my years of experience with everyone. I endeavour to showcase my love of art to all. I classify myself as a pencil person and look forward to bringing out everyone‘s secret artistic ability.
In this class we will explore a new still life each week. This will include how to use a variety of different mediums while exploring lighting, composition, measurement and arrangement, graphing, different shading techniques, perspective, symmetry, space and depth. We will produce a quality piece of still life art work each week. Bring requirements listed on Confirmation/website.
