(General ) Drawing Practice

  1. When? -  Thursdays (alternate) - 5.15 - 7.30pm) (next  4 Mar 21) 
  2. Where? - Arts North, Judd House.
  3. How Much? - $3  
  4. What to bring? - yourself!

This group comes together each fortnight on a Monday afternoon to practise drawing subjects from observation, ie whatever is in front of you - a totally different (and more elusive) skill to that of drawing from a photograph.  

Guidance is available to anyone wanting it...otherwise, Rafferty's Rules; 'do your own thing'.
But, importantly, you don't have to be able to draw already .. you can learn to draw (anybody can learn to draw!)

A general invitation to all!

Example One

Tackle proportion and structure

Example  Two

              Tackle layout

Example Three

Tackle form and texture

Examples Four , Five & Six

Tackle perspective

Glynis persevering ... so inspirational to see someone draw something complex which they possibly thought to be 'too hard'. Thanks Glynis. Well Done! You have made my day. Don. Sep 19
