Drawing Workshop – Gwen John and Laura Knight
11th October 2024 – Lynne Hickin led this workshop, bringing in books and lots of photos of artwork from each artist for us to work from. Lynne talked through some of her drawings where she used an image from a Gwen John artwork but interestingly painted it in the style of Laura Knight and visa versa. We learned all about Gwen John last week. Laura Knight was known for painting amidst the world of theatre and ballet in London and for being a war artist during the Second World War. Members had an interesting morning practicing the two different styles.
Paired Portraits
14th June 2024 – Lynda led this workshop where members were invited to do portraits of each other using any medium. This was a really enjoyable morning.
Facial Expressions
15th September 2023 – The workshop, organised and presented by Dr Lynne Hickin, was on the subject of facial expressions. Smiling, anger, puzzled, surprised, worried are all about facial muscles. It was a very interesting morning for our members.
