Drawing the Seasons: Spring awakening. An online workshop!

Date: Wednesday 19h April 10:00 - 12:30 BST (£30)

I’m really looking forward to hosting my next online art workshop as part of my Drawing the Seasons series. Together we’ll celebrate the unfurling of spring. We’ll begin by exploring the colours of spring, experimenting with colour mixing and paint application. After this we’ll spend some time practicing mark making and contour line drawing to capture the forms of newly emerged leaves and flowers. At the end of the session, you’ll come away with several plant studies. Along the way you’ll find out about the work of artists who have been inspired by the spring landscape. This workshop is suitable for anyone aged 16 and over. No drawing/painting experience necessary. Whether you’re just beginning to dip your toe into art making or are looking for a creative refresh for your established art practice, I hope to see you there.

You will need some basic art materials to hand including A4 or larger paper, watercolours or gouache, paintbrushes, regular pencils, and either crayons, coloured pencils, oil pastels or soft pastels. I’d also like you to have a few plant materials to hand that you can draw. I will send out further information about this upon booking. If you have any questions about materials, please email me on annie.e.lord@gmail.com and I’ll be happy to talk you through it.

The workshop will take place on Zoom. Feel free to join with or without your camera on. There will be time for discussion and questions, and a break in the middle of the session. Book tickets here.
