‘Capturing the Quirky’ with Lisa Fulthorpe
Join us for a Loose and fun workshop with the incredible watercolour artist, Lisa Fulthorpe, where we you be taught and encouraged to ‘Capture the Quirky’. The session will begin with drawing animals and people using the method of the ‘blind contour’. Lisa will lead you through this method which involves carefully observing the outline and shapes of a subject while slowly drawing its contours in a continuous line without looking at the paper.
Attendees will expect to create humorous, wonky and startling compositions that defy any creative preconceptions; art that is truly original. In the spirit of finding the joy of art in the process of playful experimentation, you never know what you get for the Blind contour, until the suprise of looking down at the paper! Working in Lisa’s method facilitates a shift from the analytical way of thinking to one that which is intuitive and taps into the subconscious.
Building on the drawing process, the works will then be developed using pen and ink, and watercolour. Making fluid washes of colour with a simple palette of 3-4 colours, Lisa will demonstrate how to make the final tonal finish of her works, after which you will take home a charming work of art.
A range of photos will be provided of animals to draw, however we also encourage you to bring photos of your own furry friends.
All levels are welcome.
All art materials are provided by Green & Stone.
