Join us for an creative drawing workshop led by artist Paul Thompson.

Join us for a creative afternoon workshop with artist Paul Thompson of Interface Arts.

There are no right or wrong ways to draw. In this workshop, Paul will share his tips on what makes a successful drawing, guiding participants through various techniques of composition and selective focus.

Participants are asked to bring a reference image that they wish to draw. This might be a photograph, a picture from a magazine or other source. Paul will guide you through making the creative decisions for making a successful interpretation of your chosen image.

The workshop is suitable for 18+ only.

All materials and tools are provided. No experience necessary.
