Workshop with Paul Weaver – sketching and drawing in preparation for painting

Sketching and drawing is a way of engaging with a subject and honing one’s visual awareness. It is a way of understanding form, depth, perspective, proportion, texture, light and shade in visual terms. It is a way of gathering reference and testing compositions for potential paintings.  Paul will demonstrate his way of working, using pencil, pen or charcoal, then progressing to line and wash.

The workshop will give the opportunity to put these ideas into action, and if the weather is good enough there will be the chance to get outside and sketch from life then return to the studio to develop the work.

A full list of materials will be provided.
