FEB 7   EXPRESSIVE DRAWING WITH BAMBOO PEN & OTHER TOOLS. NEW! 10.30-4.30 £67 [Beginners & improvers]  Inks.  

Working on our drawing skills is a must, either as regular practice to train our hand and eye             co-ordination as a precursor to painting or as a charming art in it’s own right. Yet we can take it much further than the pencil! Drawing can be sensitive and subtle or downright rough and bold!

After a very generous gift of several hand carved bamboo pens from a student, [thankyou,thankyou] we will use this chinese tool to explore a vigorous, expressive style of drawing natural forms. Trained in the chinese style by Rebecca Yue, Liana will lead you through a warm up and clear demos , experimenting with the pen and other tools as we explore lines and styles that suit natural forms. It's as simple as using her ABC process!

This is a very freeing approach and with a little practice achievable by beginners upwards. Be prepared for lots of sketches, inky paws and an absorbing day. You just need any ink and paper! [ and a few things from home].

Materials suggestions here, allow time to gather!

‘I always leave class with a whole host of new skills, but more than that I have a new energy and belief in myself to carry forward into my art, my life. If you want to get your artistic mojo back, sign up!  I can’t thank you enough’. C.D. 2023
