A walk & draw workshop exploring the beautiful coastline at Wembury, Plymouth.
The session will begin at the Wembury Marine Centre, where we will look at the work of other artists working historically and into the present, taking inspiration from different ways of looking and drawing.
We will then take a short walk along the coastline and onto the beach, making sketches of natural forms, observing the small details, from rock formations, pebbles, shells, plant and sea life, through to the grander sea view.
On return to the Marine Centre, we will continue drawing, either developing the sketches or bringing back found objects to study further.
As this is an all-weather workshop please bring warm clothes, waterproofs and suitable shoes/boots. If the weather is too wet and wild we will stay in the marine centre and draw natural forms/ found objects indoors.
Beginners and experienced artists are welcome - dRAWing Space was set up to open up creative possibilities for everyone and is about fostering a supportive creative community. This is your chance to find your unique creative voice in a friendly and supportive environment!
You are welcome to bring your own materials, essential items: sketchbook (A5 / A4), charcoal, pencils, chalks or pastels, inks or watercolours.
Some paper and a range of drawing materials will be on-hand - all we ask is a donation to cover the cost of materials used.
There is a cafe on the beach, however in case it is not open, it is recommended that you bring a pack lunch and a hot drink. Hot water is available at the Marine Centre for making teas and coffees.
