Elephant

Friday 15th and Saturday 16th November, 09.30am - 15.30pm 
2 Day Workshop

Graphite pencil can be used to produce so much more than just a
sketch. Using a pencil blunt or sharp, pressing lightly or hard and
using a variety of tones, learn how to create the effect of fur, the
texture of skin and the glassy look of an eye.
 
With the expert tuition from Jamie over the course of the
two days, you will learn and be able to practice new techniques
to develop your drawing skills.
