Workshop: SKETCHBOOKS IN THE GALLERY with Molly Martin - 2 November 2023

Sketchbooks in the Gallery

Thursday, 2 November, 2023, 10am-4.30pm (1 hour lunch break)
Location - Morning: National Gallery
Afternoon: Studio,  26 Exmouth Market, EC1 4QE 

In this second workshop led by artist and illustrator Molly Martin, we will be taking our sketchbooks to the National Gallery. One of the frequent sources of inspiration for Molly is to draw from other artist's work in Museums. The National Gallery is an inspirational, free resource for drawers. This workshop will start off in the National Gallery in the morning with a short tour of Molly’s favourite rooms. We will draw in pencil into sketchbooks looking for paintings, or even details, which we are particularly attracted to. In the afternoon we will draw in the studio to develop ideas further, taking the sketches and developing new works from them, in ink, watercolour, gouache or pastel. This process of transforming fragmented sketches into a new drawing is a valuable one and is supported by guidance from Molly.

Materials are included.
