Three experienced members of our life drawing group will be demonstrating /tutoring and mentoring those attending. We each bring years of experience and want to advance life drawing at TSA. Damien is a full-time professional artist with a Master of Fine Art and will offer much to those attending. We all have different styles and strengths to contribute and, as in all life drawing sessions, artists are inspired and learn from each other.

The workshop will be taking place over two days, so participants are welcome to register for one or both days. The weekend is designed for experienced enthusiasts as well as those who want to want to try life drawing in a supportive, informative environment.

We will be providing a range of different media for attendees and encouraging artists to step out of their comfort zone and experiment. This will include pens, charcoal (sticks and liquid charcoal), coloured pencil, pastel, conte stick, watercolour and more. Our four models are experienced and great at holding poses, all have worked with us at the Friday morning group.

Children will need to be accompanied by their special adult for the whole session. This will be a busy, fun and colourful collaborative process. The adult must be a member of the Tauranga Art Society.

This workshop is designed to inspire young artists and give ideas to grandparents and parents. It uses simple water colour techniques to learn how to create vibrant colour and have FUN. There is so much pleasure working with our children and with school holidays looming this is a great time to start. This will be a collaborative approach so hands on for both parties.  Essentially the colours and subjects are what the children choose but with your help to make it happen. There are two different sessions so enrol in whichever day suits you.
