Sharpen your drawing and observation skills, find your own creative rhythm, and have fun in a small group with tutor Glenda Hennig.
These casual sessions are being held fortnightly on Monday mornings at Hive Studios. Glenda will present a different drawing-based activity for each session, for example:
- Still Life setups with challenges and prompts
- Different drawing approaches including gestural, drawing the negative spaces, loosening up etc
- Imaginative abstraction of the literal
- Playing with both dry and wet media
- Developing content within simple book structures
The sessions will explore a variety of themes including urban, nature, domestic and found objects.
All abilities and skill levels are catered for. Come along to any session whenever you can – you won’t know what the activity is but it’s guaranteed to be creative and enjoyable. Glenda has a relaxed and engaging teaching style.
Most materials are supplied, you just need to bring some basics:
- A3 sketchbook
- Drawing materials – HB, 2B, 4B pencils, erasers, sharpener
- Water brush
If additional materials are required (eg watercolours, coloured pencils) you will be advised a few days before the session.
About the Tutor: Glenda is a Brisbane based printmaker, papermaker, and maker of artist's books. She has many years of art teaching experience, both in schools and for adults. Her art practice usually involves the places where we set up home; houses, gardens, or the natural world outside our back doors. She likes to explore lagoons and creeks and the trees, plants and creatures there, weeds and bugs included, making drawings, prints and paper that reflect her interest in what grows and lives in wilder urban spaces.
