Upcoming workshop: Drawing Through Symbol & Observation
In collaboration with Hurstville Museum & Gallery, join me for Art in the Afternoon.
This workshop is Inspired by the sense of magical realism and quiet intensity in Petrina Hicks’ work in the current main gallery exhibition.
What will we do?
This beginner friendly workshop invites participants to slow down and work intuitively with symbol and visual metaphor.
Beginning with gentle observational sketching in the gallery, participants will notice recurring motifs such as animals, stillness, reflection, and proximity, using these as points of curiosity rather than fixed meanings. In the studio, participants will create a finished drawing using pencil and soft pastel, focusing on tonal values, layering, and drawing from reference, while being encouraged to develop a personal and imaginative response to the exhibition.
These workshops are relaxed, social and creative. You'll learn foundational techniques, receive guidance and have lots of space to explore and practice techniques. What a great way to spend sunday afternoon!
