Sketch Book Journal Techniques with Bernie Meyers

Saturday 11th September 10am-4pm

This workshop will cover the practice of keeping a sketch book journal. You will be inspired by the sketch books of many different artists and will have an opportunity to use a variety of sketching media including; charcoal, ink, graphite, coloured pencil and oil pastel.

We will focus on two main areas; sketching and composition with a session on each of the following subjects:

Composition - learn how to create interesting page layouts, creative backgrounds and use lettering in imaginative ways.

Landscapes - sketching outside as well as from your own photographic reference this will include some easy to apply perspective hints.

Sketching - fast gestural drawing from life including things that won’t keep still.

People and portraits - simple figures to add life to your sketches, byo a photo to create a short portrait study.

Mixed media - make a themed mixed media artwork that can be cut into smaller miniature pictures (also suitable to use as artist trading cards).

Cost: $80 includes all artist quality materials and paper
Morning and afternoon tea provided, BYO lunch.
