Join artist Jake Attree for an intimate three-hour drawing masterclass exploring the character of Saltaire through line, gesture, nature and landscape.
The morning will begin with Saltaire’s architecture as our subject, using the distinctive buildings and spaces of the village as a starting point for exploring observation, proportion and composition.
From there, Jake will encourage us to loosen our relationship with line, moving away from overly controlled drawing and towards more instinctive, gestural marks. We’ll explore how a drawing can have personality and character, and how a few expressive lines can communicate far more than a highly finished image.
The session will also turn to nature and landscape, looking at different ways of responding to organic forms, trees, foliage, the river and the surrounding landscape.
This is a workshop about looking, responding and finding freedom in drawing.
