Overview
Date: Friday 6th November 2020
Time: 10.00am – 4.00pm
This day long drawing workshop will focus on ways of interpreting the landscape, with an emphasis on simplifying an otherwise complex subject.
Using basic drawing methods and equipment we’ll look at aspects such as layers within the landscape, compositional dynamics and the illusions of space and depth. We’ll study elements and principles of composition in organising pictorial structure.
