Join artist Claire Sparkes for this fun workshop, combining expressive tonal charcoal drawing & watercolour painting techniques. During this workshop you will develop observation & gestural drawing skills, working to life-size from primary source vegetable subject matter!
You will explore exciting mark-making techniques using charcoal with loose watercolour washes to capture the essential characteristics of your subject. By the end of the session you will have created a study sheet with notes of techniques and a finished watercolour & charcoal study.
Join us for our latest workshop, with bottomless tea and coffee available, and a delicious buffet style lunch provided by The Dining Club of Deal!
Whatever your skill level, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to try something new and to enjoy a day of creativity within the bright and airy gallery space of Linden Hall Studio.
