Sketching The Gardens of Kilver Court

Start Date:Sunday, 4th October 2015
Times:10.30am-4.30pm
Duration:1-day workshop
Tutor:Laurie Steen
Cost:£65
Suitable for:Suitable for all abilities

Places Available!   

Students will meet at Kilver Court Gardens, near Shepton Mallet, with its beautiful grounds and magnificent nineteenth century viaduct. The day will be spent sketching the scenic landscape and individual elements within it.

The tutor will guide students in how to create sketches which evoke the gardens, drawn actively and loosely. We will warm-up with drawing exercises, such as catching shadows, contour drawing, experimental mark-making and emotive sketching, as we draw the gardens by studying and looking at the unique landscape and landforms that might in themselves inspire a specific way of drawing. We will aim to create works which celebrate the energy and spontaneity of our working processes.

Students will be required to transport themselves to Kilver Court Gardens and back. Please note there is free onsite parking at Kilver Court.
