FUNDAMENTALS OF DRAWING - SINGLE DAY INTENSIVE

Single Day Intensive Masterclass with Jackson Davies

SATURDAY OCTOBER 12

Suitable for ages 16+

10:00 am - 3:00 pm

Price: $150.00*

Class Description.

This workshop is ideal for both beginners eager to grasp the fundamentals of drawing and those looking to enhance their existing skills. Participants will engage in two key drawing exercises: creating a still life and producing a tonal study based on a renowned artwork.

 In the first exercise, you will draw a still life arranged in the studio, focusing on observational skills and core techniques such as perspective, proportion, and basic graphite methods. We will also delve into how drawing functions as a form of "visual thinking" and how artists use sketching to explore and develop their ideas. The second exercise involves a charcoal study of a famous artwork from a photograph—previous examples include Edward Hopper’s Nighthawks and Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring.

 This activity emphasises how tonal contrasts (light and dark) can convey form and create dramatic effects. Charcoal, with its ability to produce expressive, gestural, and nuanced tones, will be the primary medium used. Jackson will provide detailed explanations and demonstrations to guide you through the drawing process.

The workshop is designed to be a relaxed and supportive environment where the goal is not to produce finished pieces but to gain a deeper understanding of drawing and build confidence in your creative abilities.
