Draw from the clothed figure in response to stories, in this playful, structured workshop with artist Alys Scott-Hawkins.

The session:

We’ll warm up by making a series of drawings in which the figure is in action, and then draw the model as a character in longer poses which derive from a short story or poem.

This session is for beginners and experienced artists who are looking for inspiration with visual storytelling. The drawings produced in the session could be the starting point for a graphic narrative, storyboard, illustration or animated sequence.

Paper, charcoal & pencils provided. Please bring along any other materials you would like to use.

The tutor:

Alys is an award-winning artist with 20+ years experience of making, and teaching, drawing.

Her work has been shown at 30 festivals across Europe, Asia and North & South America, and exhibited in galleries including Freud Museum, Vienna, on the Biennale circuit, Venice and at Parasol Unit, London.
