Ever wondered how to use ink? In this workshop young artists aged 7 to 13 will be taught how to capture seascapes rapidly in ink. Learn about drawing with graphite, creating tone with ink, and then incorporate wax with artist Victoria Gillow.
Inspired by Victoria’s approach to working around our Cornish Coast, and through demonstration and guidance, young artists will be taught how to capture seascapes rapidly in ink. They will learn how to develop line, tone, expressive marks and how to illustrate force, mood and weather.
For children aged 7-13, these Summer workshops are like no other, where children get to work in our studio overlooking the sea and use the same high quality art materials as our adult courses. They are taught by experienced artist tutors and leave feeling inspired with beautiful artwork.
A parent or guardian is welcome to join in the workshop with their child, at the child’s rate of £40 and make their own artwork.
What to Bring
All materials are provided. Ink is messy so please wear old clothes!
Timings and Breaks
The workshop starts at 10am and finishes at 12.30pm, please aim to arrive ten to fifteen minutes before the start time.
