Drawing Classes in Melbourne

Our observational drawing classes on Saturday afternoon and Wednesday evening are going well.  Lots of drawings, exercises, using tone to describe a shape, tricks for symmetry if you need it and learning more about materials.  Here are some of the drawings completed after either 10minutes or 30minute sessions – I’ve just mixed up some of the two groups together.

I have set up a large round table with objects, fruit and vegetables for each to select for drawing.  After exercises to relax the hand we then do some rapid one object drawing, then two objects and then build up to introducing a longer draw or incorporating a new material such as ink, or coloured pencils.

The classes are a lot of fun and we are just about to complete the fourth of five classes.  Let me know if you are interested in doing this in the future – possibly in May.   I’m in Alphington.    annewarrenart@gmail.com

It’s Autumn and I am still drawing

I started a little late with my Summer workshops however they are going so well.  I have a Saturday afternoon group and a Wed night group that will meet for five weeks.  We did some exercises to relax the hand, some tricks to draw a symmetrical shape (don’t have to of course), used tone to help an object become 3D and have used some smudge stick work for shading – but not too much as it is so easy to just move graphite across the paper  and then everything starts to look rather medium when that happens.

Also making some new cards see the formal upholstered chair on a vintage french lexicon page.  I have quite a quirky variety of cards here but I can make a commissioned card to order (just give me some guidelines).

Email me or find me on instagram if you would like to chat about anything you see here.
