Creative Use of Photo-Reference

This course will help you make thoughtful use of a variety of reference photographs including those of landscape, people and animals or birds.

We’ll explore different compositions from the same photo; how advances in photography inspired artists like Degas; and how photos can be starting points for imaginative or abstract works.

Please bring your own materials as indicated in the list below:
- A4 or A3 sketch book or A3 drawing paper
- Pencil or pen
- A medium of your choice for more considered work (e.g. pastel, watercolour, acrylic)
- Appropriate paper to your medium
- Brushes and palette
- Water pots
- Drawing board and block of wood or table easel
- Clips or tape to attach paper
- Paper towel

Some paper will be available from the tutor at cost.

Suitable for ages 18+ years.
