Drawing, Graphics, Painting & Printing

 

Rural Arts offers a number of fine art workshops suitable for beginners and improvers. Workshops are tailored to suit the abilities and experience of the group and can incorporate the use of a number of tools and materials including pencil, charcoal, pastel, acrylic watercolour, and oil paint.

Drawing and Painting
Observational drawing teaches us how to see and draw better. Gain confidence through drawing objects from life and exercise your ability to look!

Life Drawing
Workshops teach participants to draw the human body. A model will sit for the group, either nude or clothed depending on the group’s requirements.

Mural Painting
Work as a group to design and paint a large scale, permanent mural to decorate your nursery, school, club or village hall. Or you could commission an artist to paint a mural working to your own design.

Printing
Printmaking is a satisfying method of making marks and imagery using inks. We offer workshops which make printmaking methods accessible to beginners and improvers.

Lino Printing
Prints are taken from patterns carved into the surface of lino.

Mono Printing
Ink is rolled onto perspex sheets and a design is worked into the ink. A print is taken from the surface pattern.

Collagraph Printing
Collaging layers of material and textures creates the printable plate, which is then sealed with varnish and inked. A print is taken from the plate. This workshop can be adapted to suit all ages.

Graphic Design
Explore illustration, font, logo and poster design. Projects can be based on a brief set by a graphic designer or could be used to create promotional materials for your group’s performance, film or exhibition.
