Introduction to Drawing
Tutor: Sarah Sparkes
Good Artists Copy, Great Artists Steal
- Joan Eardley
Tutor: Ian Ellis
A structured course for students with little or no
drawing experience who would like to learn to draw
from observation. You will learn the basic principles
of drawing including perspective, how to create a
sense of scale and proportion, and convey volume
and space. You will be able to draw accurately
whilst developing a personal style and expression.
This course will focus on Joan Eardley’s atmospheric
gesture paintings of the NE coast of Scotland. The
aim of the course is to see how much Eardley’s
methods influence you when you create a
landscape painting of your own working from
photographs. How much can Eardley’s ability to
handle and manipulate paint whilst retaining a
sense of place help you to develop your own
painting skills?
Botanic Illustration
Tutor: Jaco Nel
This is a three-day workshop for students of
beginner to intermediate levels. We will be working
on a range of summer perennials, grasses, stems,
twigs and seed pods combined in a single work to

foliage of varying shapes, sizes and textures as it
offers specific challenges in compositional interest
and complexity. Students can work in graphite, pen
and ink or watercolour.
Figure Drawing - Capturing Movement
Tutor: Graham Cole
A lively and entertaining course introducing
students to the dynamics of the moving figure using
life models and performers culminating in a day at

pencil, pastels, inks or water-based media.
Pottery Workshop - All levels

Beginners to pottery will be shown hand- building
techniques and a chance to experience the potters’
wheel. Experienced students will be able to work

designs/ideas arising from the two day drawing for
ceramics course which precedes this one.
Drawing into Watercolour
Tutor: Shaun Carey
This course aims to develop your drawing abilities
further, which in turn will underpin both your
painting in watercolour. We will be exploring a
variety of subjects including still-life and landscape

produce multiple works. This course will be ideal
for both new or experienced printmakers.
