Fearless Drawing with Andrew James
Sunday 17 November 9.30am - 4.30pm
In his humorous and energetic teaching style, Andrew James presents an achievable way to draw confidently and quickly.
This workshop takes you from doodling to drawing scenes. We discuss line quality, do a few drawing exercises, work out what makes a drawing interesting and discuss depth without worrying about the rules of perspective.
Using a simple approach, we’ll bring our drawings to life with colour.
Suitable for absolutely anyone. I have had complete beginners to professional artists in the past, and everyone has gotten something out of it.
Bring an A4 visual diary, waterproof pen, and watercolours if you have them. Also, bring anything else you’d like to draw with.
