An Introduction to Life-Drawing: Artist workshop at the Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery

An Introduction to Life-Drawing with Karen Babayan

Saturday, 15 October 2011, 12-4pm

Life drawing is the traditional cornerstone of art training and is a meaningful discipline that artists return to again and again. Drawing is a skill that can be learnt and drawing from the figure presents a new challenge.

Visual artist Karen Babayan's workshop will explore a variety of different approaches and techniques from eye to hand coordination to measured drawing; from markmaking to explore surface texture and shape to analytical studies of light and shade, and finally to working with movement and gesture in drawing.

Please note that a nude art model will be present at the workshop. Suitable for ages 18+.

Karen Babayan visual artist uses paint, print, photography and video as the means to explore her cultural history. Taking hand-me-down stories and family photographs as starting points, she attempts to create a sense of place and belonging.
