WORKING FROM STILL LIFE
The day will begin with a brief talk and demonstration drawing along with in depth discussion around how to set up your still life and Judy's process around this. This will be about fine tuning your powers of observation. We will look at how different ways of lighting can create a sense of drama to the work. If you are a beginner you can work in charcoal and if you are experienced in pastel you can work in colour.
DAY TWO
WORKING IN CHARCOAL WITH A LIFE MODEL
Day two is around Judy's process on portraiture. You will work in charcoal to evaluate tone and values. We will also see the exciting effect using a kneadable Rubber can have when used to create variations in the tones and the especially the charcoal surface. Although aiming for a likeness, the exercise will be more about creating a work which shows emotion and drama.
DAY THREE
WORKING IN COLOUR/PASTEL WITH A LIFE MODEL
If you don't have experience with pastel or pastel materials, you can stick to charcoal.
The day will begin with a brief talk and demonstration of using pastel on black paper. Again we will be fine tuning our powers of observation and will look at the influence of Japanese art on The Post Impressionists. Their observations on how flattened areas of colour, elimination of shadows and an emphasis on colour and light can create works which were refreshing and vibrant.
PLEASE NOTE that this is not a beginners workshop. We recommend that you attend if you have had some experience with drawing prior. It is perfect for those of you who have not had the chance to work from life before and for those with some drawing experience wanting to extend their portraiture skills and/or pastel skills.
