Workshop drawing
In this drawing workshop, you learn through simple exercises. You work with lines, basic shapes, proportion, light and shadow. We might draw a mug, a piece of hand tool, or another small object in front of you.
The workshop is for people who want to learn drawing, but also for people who want to sketch an idea before starting in glass, mosaic, wood or another material. A drawing can help you try something out before you make it.
At Tugelastraat, the drawing workshop is given at a table, in a small setting. That works well for looking, sketching, erasing, trying again and talking through what you put on paper.
You start with the basics: looking carefully, placing lines, drawing simple shapes and seeing what light and shadow do to an object.
If you want to continue afterwards, extra sessions can be arranged for more practice or for developing your own subject further.
This first workshop is for people who want to learn drawing from the ground up. You do not need experience. We start with simple shapes and ordinary objects, and look at how to get them onto paper without making things complicated straight away.
If you want to continue after that first session, you can. That might mean more practice in looking at objects, working on your own subject, or making sketches for another project.
The drawing workshop at Tugelastraat can be followed one-on-one or in a small group. You work at a table with paper, pencil, fineliner and eraser. Along the way, we look together at what is already working and what you could try differently.
Basic materials are ready for you. If you want to draw from your own photo, a reference image or a small object you bring with you, that is often fine. If you want to work with special paper, ink, paint or other materials, let us know in advance or bring them yourself.
You practise lines, basic shapes, proportion, light and shadow. From there, you draw a simple object or develop a first sketch a little further.
Drawing can be a workshop on its own, but it can also be preparation for a project in glass, mosaic, wood or another technique.
