Drawing in the Spring

About Drawing in the Spring

A seasonal series of drawing workshops with Drill Hall artist Felicity Inkpen

These workshops will guide you through a variety of different drawing techniques, in pencil, charcoal, chalk, pastel, pen, ink, gouache, watercolour and collage. Suitable for beginners and more experienced artists alike, you’ll be introduced to a variety of mark-making techniques in a fun and pressure-free environment. With Felicity, you’ll explore artistic representations of Spring across cultures and throughout history, and how they might influence your work.

Class sizes are small to ensure you get a personalised experience.

Each workshop will have a different Spring-based theme and will use different materials. Each workshop will be a stand-alone event and will assume no prior knowledge or experience.

There is zero pressure in these workshops, and the main objective is to have fun.

With any art materials, there is always a risk of getting marks on your clothes, so please don’t wear your best crisp white shirt or anything you would be upset to get dirty.
