Workshop:  'Sketchbooks: their inspiration and where this might lead'  

St Dogmaels Memorial Hall
Rachel PrykeI will introduce the session and briefly look at some examples of how famous painters have used sketchbooks as part of their developmental process. Raphaelle Fieldhouse, current artist in residence at Rhosygilwen will be showing some of her amazing sketch work that she has been doing during performances and explain how she captures such brief moments of intense activity so effectively.

We will look at examples that everyone brings along and explore how we are using sketchbooks ourselves. Do you keep a travel journal, doodle alongside a diary or illustrate poetry? Do you keep any  thumbnail sketches from when trying out a composition?

 

We will then do some 'thumbnail exercises' for everyone to try out ideas so don't worry if you are not (yet) a sketchbook fan. 

 

What to bring:-

Your sketchbooks, preparatory ideas, doodles, thumbnail sketches or scraps of  composition ideas that might show the process behind your work's development. 

Graphite pencils, graphite stick, sharpeners etc

We will provide paper and images.

Members - free.
