When:
First Wednesday monthly. 2:00-4:00 (Feb – Oct) , 1.30-3.30 (Nov thru Jan) Spaces available for new members to join this group
Where:
Members’ homes on rota basis and some outdoor sketching at different venues, weather permitting.
Content of sessions: Examples of activities include sketching still life, ornaments, figures and jewellery. Also sketching of moving figures on computer screens. Drawing from various ‘found’ objects (shells, feathers and seed pods) as well as plants and flowers. Members can use whatever medium they prefer – pencils, pens, pastels, biros, crayons. We do sometimes paint using watercolours or acrylics etc as well as charcoal but this has to be arranged with host before hand to ensure enough supplies, table coverings and space etc. I encourage everyone to put their ideas forward for upcoming sessions. We are a friendly, informal group and Art in the Drawing Room has continued since February 2017. Anyone who would like to begin to draw or take it up after a long time away from it is welcome to come along for some sessions to see if we can re-kindle that interest. Please email Liz for further enquiries.
