In More Scribbling, you have the opportunity to explore various mediums and to develop your artistic skills throughout the sessions. The workshops are free and all materials are provided. Newcomers do not need any prior art experience, and regulars can choose their art weapons at will!

In this set of workshops, the class will explore the use of paint to build their drawing and compositional skills, learning how to work with light and colour working from Still Life.

The first half of the class will be used to learn the basic rules of paint, composition, texture and colour mixing.  As a group we will be working with acrylic paint, but in this process we will also discuss in comparison how to work with oils.  The second half of the class will give participants the opportunity to take elements of the first part of the class and use them to explore their own composition or idea for a painting and build it to a finished piece throughout the term. We aim to provide our class with the confidence and knowledge to continue on their journey developing a visual language and vocabulary that will enhance their future art ventures.

The drawing sessions will consist of different tasks each week that will focus on the varied aspects of drawing and all play a part in representational drawing. Drawing is the foundation of all types of art that you go on to make, hone your drawing skills and the rest will follow.

Artist Pearl Kinnear will lead this ten week block of workshops – Sunday morning at 11am-1pm, on Sunday 16th May and finishing Sunday 18th July, for 10 workshops.

The drawing block will be aimed at teaching drawing using Conté sticks (also known as Conté crayons) which are a drawing medium composed of compressed powdered graphite or charcoal mixed with a wax or clay base, square in cross-section. Conte crayons produce a similar effect to charcoal, except that - being harder - they can create finer lines as well as shading and broad tonal areas and in a wide variety of shades of black, white, grey and earthy pigments

Over the 10 weeks we hope that everyone will show an improvement from the first week to the last in our block. As artists we are always learning, but this is a foundation to help participants see progress in quite a short time.
