(General ) Drawing Practice

Historically this group has come together fortnightly, most recently on a Thursday evening, 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!)  In fact, there is an assumption that you can't draw already.

Expressions of interest are invited.  Currently it is expected into the future that the cost will be a $3 'studio' fee for each 2-3 hr session (pay as you go). 

It is proposed that sessions will run in blocks of 10 fortnightly sessions.  Following the first session in each block, a $50 deposit will be required to continue with the block - that $50 being fully refundable, if the individual attends 7 of the remaining 9 sessions.

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
