Workshop presenter, Felicity Smith, is a classically trained fine artist specialising in drawing, painting and sculpture. She studied sculpture in Sydney under Tom Bass at the Tom Bass Sculpture School and under Alberto Priotta at the Julian Ashton Art School. Whether your intention is to create an abstract, realist or conceptual work, it pays to sketch your ideas on paper. Much like a maquette, sketching allows you to work out the wrinkles before commencing your piece, and allows your imagination to adapt and grow your concept. Sketching also helps prospective clients, galleries and funding agencies to understand your vision and commit to the project. In this short introduction, we will look at carving out a simple form, taking into account the drawing envelope, and the overall gesture of the piece. We will note the way the light falls on the object, identify the major plane changes, judge how well the form and cast shadows are working, and discuss how to analyse the importance of negative and positive shapes. Materials required are: a bulldog clip, pencil B or 2B, putty rubber white paper - copy paper, cartridge paper, whatever you have to hand a support or backing board to clip the paper to. If you cannot stand at an easel (provided), you will be able to sit at a table but will need to bring a desktop easel. A few desktop easles will be available if required so don't worry if you don't have one. Felicity will provide the object you will be working with. If you require further information, please email Felicity on felicity531@gmail.com If you are unable to attend the workshop after you have registered, please cancel your registration on Eventbrite so others can register, as numbers are limited.
