@flux_dublin are hosting a Line / Tone / Perspective: Drawing Fundamentals weekend workshop with artist, Alan Clarke taking place 8th – 10th November, 10am to 4pm in Digital Court. 🗒
Drawing is the foundation of all representational art, and mastery of drawing is conditional on the understanding and practice of certain fundamental principles. ✏
This intensive three-day workshop will give participants an overview of some of these fundamentals, namely linework, tone (value), and perspective. It will provide a framework to develop a mode of drawing that is accurate and stylish, and will enable participants to be more focused and productive with drawing practice that is undertaken in their own time.
ℹ For further information and tickets, please visit @flux_dublin`s website.
