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

Melbourne Collage Meets

MCM are a group of artists that started meeting after the covid bans were lifted.  We meet fortnightly at a local cafe and make collage, socialise and we have even had a fundraiser for a selected nearby school.  We absolutely love seeing each other and working together.  We have just come up with future themes rather than last minute ideas.  I’m going to give you a few if you would also like to participate here online.

  • Forest floor or forest animals

  • Text

July

  • A chair or seat reimagined

-Origami boxes or houses from found images (if anyone can help with a simple pattern please send me).   

I just finished a fabulous exhibition at Meeniyan gallery in South Gippsland.  I sold lots of wall assemblages and thought I should stop making these but I can’t help it, still making.  I will post some new ones soon.  They have changed into small free standing sculptures.

I will once again (maybe in Spring) be offering classes (all materials included)  for either wall art or freestanding sculpture using found objects and collage.

Hope to hear from some of you.  Why don’t you give one of the above themes to your child or your Grandmother or friend and get them to contribute too.  I’ll post it for them.
