Nicholas Stevenson Workshop

Service Description

Over two hours we will explore different illustrative drawing techniques, which you can be applied for a range of disciplines (ceramic, digital art, drawing, printmaking, painting, animating). We'll explore the idea of developing an original style and how to build on what you already do instinctively. You will draw some fun objects, and figure out ways to tranform them using your eyes, brain, heart and hands! Participants are invited to bring a small object they find beautiful or intriguing, (to draw from) and their favourite art supplies (pen, pencil, ink, brush).
