The 4 hour long workshops will stretch over a 4 week period and are aimed at beginners as well as participants who would like to re-kindle their passion for life drawing and drawing. The workshops are lead by artist and printmaker Jonathan Comerford. His approach is contemporary and innovative yet based on traditional techniques and skill. The objective of the workshop is to give participants a solid foundation of knowledge and skill as well as guidance to develop their own style or ‘handwriting’. Participant numbers not greater than 10 per workshop will ensure good tutor/student rapport.
