Brighton Workshop Four - positioning figures

The second session from Rolf Scroeter focussed using your eye level to position figures in a scene. 'Post-it' notes, which we drew people on, were used to help the group understand the principles.

Brighton Workshop Three - outline shapes

The third session of the Brighton Workshop was with Swasky and concentrated on outline shapes of people using a brush pen.

Brighton Workshop One - Long lines and closed shapes

Thought it would be a good idea to revisit my notes and drawings from the recent Brighton Workshop as it would be so easy to forget some of the excellent advice from the tutors.

The first workshop was with Rolf Schroeter, starting with blind contour drawings of people walking by in Kensington Gardens.

Then we had to study the people but only draw without looking up. 

In the final exercise, we were asked to make a scene, just using the people, no buildings or context.

Studio visit with Jodi Jones

 The table at today's workshop organised by SE20 Art member Jodi Jones at her studio.

We worked on a drawing exercise, firstly doing a still life...

...then folding up the paper and choosing a section to draw again larger on an A4 sheet.

This is my result.
