Art Exhibition Inkwell

Kevin Hickson primarily describes himself as a painter although works in digital photography, graphic design and sculpture. His work explores an interest in the environment, scientific development and it’s impact on where and how we live. Some of his work could be described as landscapes and what he calls ‘innerscapes’ where he likes to play with micro and macro imagery.

Beth Smith is a well established artist who has returned to exhibiting her work again recently, creating beautiful works in ceramics and also paintings.

The preview evening starts at 6pm on November the 15th and here you will get the first opportunity to purchase any pieces on show. We hope you can join us for the evening.

We have a whole range of great sessions and workshops for you this Autumn, one of which is our all day portrait drawing workshop which will be taking place on Saturday October 5th.

 

Explore different approaches to portrait drawing, covering various aspects such as shape, form ,special awareness and proportion while experimenting with different styles and media using line, shade, colour and tone.

Learn how different artists past and present have tackled Portraiture in it’s various forms, starting with straight observed drawing to more experimental styles developed in later art movements.

Explore shading techniques that will enable you to create mood and atmosphere in your drawings.

The aim of this course is ultimately to give anyone the confidence in exploring drawing armed with a strong understanding of how to begin and not being inhibited by a blank sheet of paper.

If you would like to book on the course please contact us on 0113 3070108 or you can pop in and see us. Places are limited so please book early to avoid disappointment.
