Thursday morning started out pleasantly enough….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

but as the morning progressed, some rather huge, black rain clouds assembled overhead…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We began with a little line drawing – seeking out contours, angles and relationships by re-drawing line over line in black pen….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a great way to break free from the quest for page-perfection that can creep in when using the ‘sketchbook method’ tought in the six week class….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Akroyiali is a great sketching venue, so after our warm ups and a bit of a demo from me, people didn’t have too far to go to find appealing subject matter…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Those of you who have sketched here with me before will recognise this lovely old boat!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and possibly even this little one in the harbour…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Using a viewfinder can be really useful when faced with such a big choice of subject matter…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can just draw them all…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As well as boats, other drawing subjects presented themselves…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

such as these beautiful pots in and around the taverna…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and these fabulously crunchy and colourful eucalyptus leaves….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A wide variety of drawings & paintings were produced, in different media….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Although the gathering clouds were a little unsettling….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

we were lucky, and didn’t get rained on….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After a final meet-up in the taverna, we called it a day at lunchtime. Well done everyone – great work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
