STUDENT ONLY CLASS - 'Portrait and Space' with Rachel Mercer

£15.00

Date: Saturday 9th March 2024

Venue: The Gallery at Green & Stone

Tickets: only £15 per student

'Portrait and Space' with Rachel Mercer

Artist and tutor Rachel Mercer is kindly offering a drawing workshop for x10 art students, on a first come first served basis. The 2.5 hour class is being offered at a vastly reduced rate of £15 per student. You will need to provide student ID on arrival to the workshop.

This workshop is designed to accompany the exhibition ' In the Cities Life is Smaller' .

The Artist Rachel Mercer will be guiding participants in a workshop that combines drawing of the head and hands with imaginative drawing of spaces. As well as providing skills and techniques in observation, students will gain an insight into Rachel's artistic process: creating imaginative compositions around a portrait.

In the class we will use each other as models and consider ways to engage in the action and attitude of the sitter. Sitting opposite a partner makes the drawing experience up-close and person and less formal than working from a model. There will be exercises designed to improve skill and accuracy in drawing, helping us to capture essential likeness rather than detail. In the second half of the class participants will use their portrait drawings to create an imaginative composition using the street outside the gallery for inspiration.

All levels are welcome.

All art materials provided by Green & Stone.
