Sketching Party
Running a sketching party for some budding young artists last weekend was great fun! After showing them a few pieces of my work, we talked about what Illustration was and how it can be used.
We started off doing some fun drawing exercises; really quick drawings as I didn't want them to think too hard about 'getting it right'. Four 9 year olds and two 5 year olds took part, they were very keen which helped. After drawing without taking the pencil of the paper, and then drawing the person infront of them without looking at the paper, (some interesting results!) they were ready for paint...
We started mixing with gouache paints; the colours to use to get flesh tones, and which colours to mix to get a colour near to black (without using a tube of black). They chose a photo and started to work on a portrait.
