About

Gayna Pelham leads this fun evening drawing workshop. Through several exercises inspired by our collection, we will explore how to draw landscapes.

We will play with the techniques used in paintings like John Russell's 'Les Terrasses de Monte Cassino' and Meindert Hobbema's 'The Avenue at Middelharnis'. We will unpick why what you envision in your head might not always translate to paper, bringing fresh perspective and understanding to the drawing process.

No previous experience is needed. Whether you picked up a pencil last week, or you haven't picked up a pencil for years, this class is for everyone.

Please come prepared with pencils, paper and a rubber. We recommend having a 2B and 4B pencil to hand. You may also like to bring water soluble oil pastels or watercolour pencils to play with colour.

This session will last one and a half hours.
