Drawing for the Terrified

About this event

Absolutely no experience necessary - just a willingness to try! Think you "can’t draw"? This workshop is here to prove you wrong- gently, supportively, and with plenty of laughter along the way. 'Drawing for the Terrified' is a fun, pressure-free introduction to drawing for complete beginners or those who haven’t picked up a pencil in years. Through a series of relaxed, confidence-boosting mark making exercises, you'll improve line control and shape drawing. You'll then move on to basic construction drawing - seeing how shapes can be put together to make forms. To help you feel more confident about shading you will work with paper blenders and graphite powder making believable looking 'photo like ' forms. To ensure you worry less about making mistakes and be more inclined to experiment, Jason will share continuous line drawing methods - scribbling - and look at artists who work in a 'messy' style. The emphasis is on the fun of drawing for pleasure with some ' Pro tricks' thrown in where appropriate! You'll come away with an artwork that utilises some of the methods explored. Whether you're looking to start a creative journey or just want to try something new in a welcoming environment, this workshop is for you. Come terrified - leave inspired.
