Dates – Sunday 21st February, 2027
Venue – Annandale Community Centre, 79 Johnston St, Annandale NSW 2038

Drawing is the most basic skill elemental to all art forms. Learning to draw teaches us to really look at the world around us. Suddenly, through learning to draw we see shadow, shapes and colour all the more brilliantly. It forces us to stop and really study something and the memory of this will stay with us forever. In this fun and challenging one day workshop you will learn the fundamental skills of drawing from observation. Using a still life as subject matter experienced tutor Ochre Lawson will guide students through exercises in learning how to see shape, proportion and tone using charcoal as our medium. She will also introduce master artists work and demonstrate techniques in how to draw. Ochre is a professional artist of over 15 years who gained her degree at the prestigious National Art School where drawing is the keystone to all their teaching.
