'I am Margaret Feeney, artist and art tutor. Join me on this fun and inventive programme to learn how to draw. You don’t need to know anything about drawing or art! Both absolute beginners and practicing artists are welcome.'
This programme is skills-based: we begin with mark-making and look at basic drawing techniques such as cross-contour, planar structure, reductive drawing, linear volume, and so on. We will consider the elements and their organising principles. Formal instruction is interspersed with play: conceptual drawing, 3D drawing, drawing with light and with the silhouette, and the painting sketch.
Drawing isn’t about rules or a pretty picture. It is about adventure, courage, and discipline. We are drawing information from the material world to inform our thoughts and feelings. And to see that world more clearly.
Join me on this adventure- we’ll be covered in charcoal on one week, in clay the next. And our minds and skills will grow!
