SUMMARY:Botanical drawing workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Linda Garrard for a hands-on drawing workshop at High Forest Community Centre\, Sinderhope\, on Sunday 21 June\, 10.30am to 3.30pm\, inspired by the extraordinary plants that grow on the old lead mining landscapes of the North Pennines. \nThe workshop is suitable for adults of all abilities. No previous drawing experience is needed. \nThe session begins with an introduction to the rare lead tolerant flowers that survive in these challenging soils\, including spring sandwort\, alpine pennycress and wild mountain pansies. You will learn what makes these plants so unusual and why they matter. \nYou will also explore the work of artists who use botanical subjects in their practice. This short introduction ranges from traditional plant studies to contemporary artists who use botanical forms to explore ecology\, fragility and place. \nThe practical part of the Rooted in Lead workshop focuses on charcoal and chalk drawing. Linda will guide you through different techniques for mark making\, tone\, texture and expressive drawing. Try out several ways of using these materials\, from careful observational studies to bold drawings that capture the character of these remarkable plants and the landscapes they inhabit. \nAll materials and refreshments provided. \nPlease book your place using the link to TicketSource
