(General ) Drawing Practice

  1. When? - alternate Mondays - (next 26 Aug)
  2. Where? - Arts North, Judd House.
  3. How Much? - $3   ($1/hour???!!!)
  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
