‘Portrait and Space’ - an art class with Rachel Mercer
In the class we will use each other as models and consider ways to engage in the action and attitude of the sitter. Sitting opposite a partner makes the drawing experience up-close and person and less formal than working from a model. There will be exercises designed to improve skill and accuracy in drawing, helping us to capture essential likeness rather than detail. In the second half of the class participants will use their portrait drawings to create an imaginative composition using the street outside the gallery for inspiration.
‘Tabletop Landscape’ - an art class with Rachel Mercer
In this class, we will consider the still life as a miniature terrain that we can explore through drawing. The class will begin with some exercises that warm up our hand and eye, helping us to consider line, tone and form. We will explore techniques in charcoal and ink to consider mark making, and develop ideas around composition by working on horizontal and vertical formats.
