Saturday 22 August
Drawing
£55 per person

Ink dip pens, brushes and washes workshop
Focusing on the use of the drawing tools and ink, you will learn to control the medium in terms of both light and line-making, tone and colour, and technically ordering the media when structuring a composition. Ink dip pens and brush use spans a huge spectrum from calligraphy to watercolour and many of the pens and brushes can be versatile enough to span the genres. This is a hands-on tutorial in the morning, with attendees able to work from a life subject in the afternoon in a group environment.
Includes: Materials, lunch, and all-day refreshments.

Saturday 29 August

At the end of the session you will have gained confidence and created a piece of art you can be proud of.
