Live Learning Experience with Ian Fennelly
Join Ian in a wonderful afternoon as he guides you slowly and carefully through the process of sketching and painting this charming village scene, from start to finish.
Starting with a blank page, you’ll learn everything from getting the size and proportions right first, sketching out the right shapes, choosing and applying the perfect colours, drawing perspective, adding detail to put personality & storytelling into your picture, simplifying what you’re drawing. And so much more!
By the end of this packed workshop, you’ll have a picture to be proud of and the skills to sketch any town or village scene.
