Lauryn explains the workshop . . . “People can be taught how to draw, much like learning how to read and write.

About The Workshop

In this workshop Lauryn will guide you through an introductory approach to drawing techniques. Starting with learning how to do draw using line, followed by observational exercises looking at the fall of light on the subject to create form using tonal values. In the final exercise you will use a little colour and learn about cool and hot tonal values of colour and how one can use that to portray depth within your work.

The focus is on a traditional approach to drawing, i.e. learning ‘how draw what you see not what you think you see’ You with learn the foundational skills and techniques such as understanding: form, tonal realism, value (grey scale), line, how to use negative and positive shapes to create composition. Each participant will be encouraged to develop their own individual style of drawing.
