Fundamentals of Drawing Meetup

Fundamentals of Drawing Meetup

Sunday 20 July
Rutherglen - 10am - 2 Hours
Sian Day Lewis
Feel like you've “never been good at drawing”? Or maybe it's been years since you last picked up a pencil? This class is made just for you. The Fundamentals of Drawing is a welcoming, no-pressure space to learn the basics, or finally make sense of them.

We'll take it step by step: understanding shapes, getting proportions right, and learning simple shading tricks that make a big difference. No fancy materials needed, and no prior experience expected. Just bring your curiosity and whatever sketchbook or pencils you have.

Please bring a sketchbook (A4 or A5 is perfect, but any size will do), along with an HB pencil and a softer pencil like a 2B or 4B. A soft white eraser or kneaded eraser is recommended, and a sharpener is always handy. A ruler can be useful for practicing proportions and perspective, though it's not essential. Feel free to bring any pens or extra tools you enjoy using.

This class is designed to give you a solid understanding of the fundamental basics of photography the 'nuts and bolts' stuff that will set you on the path to understanding your camera and how to create great shots. Armed with these fundamentals, you will have the skills and the confidence to approach any style of photography, from portraits to landscapes and everything in between.During this course, we will cover such topics as the Exposure Triangle, Camera Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO and Composition.Photography is a technical exercise and there is a lot to learn, but these basics apply to any type of photography. However, as we only have a limited time to cover each of these topics, please keep a copy of this course guide and practice these tricks and techniques over and over again whenever you can.Taking great photos takes time, practice, patience and consideration. In the beginning stages,it is very easy to become frustrated that your images don't capture your subject as you would like to. This is perfectly normal and even professional photographers face this same challenge. Be patient with it, you're learning and with practice your photography will improve with every shot.

Fabulous time had by my group. I must say your choice of Facilitator was spot on. Joelle made everyone feel included and comfortable. Joelle was a great person to handle every level of student experience and confidence. Joelle was attentive to each persons needs. Her keen eye and the artistic knowledge of art techniques and suggestions actually transformed my attempts. I?m grateful to acquire new skill. In a short time. I felt she was generous with her time and no one was left behind. I would definitely book with Joelle again.

Emily was painted (oil on canvas) as part of an art sale I had to raise funds for the St Andrews Hospice. There were 23 pieces in total, some painted in oils and others using pastel pencil on pastelmat paper. Every one was an original created by me. My daughter (10) also helped with some of her own art work and bracelets she made. Emily was the prize for a raffle and raised a healthy amount for the charity. In all the event raised ?1900 which blew me away &128513

I made this for a lovely friends daughter who had to move from her flat in Edinburgh as the landlord was selling up . It didn?t really give her long to get something else especially in Edinburgh so she moved out the city to a house she could afford . She has a disabled son who she shares the responsibility of looking after with her ex partner. So she had to really start again , so I said I would make her a welcome sign with birds on it as she?s also a DJ in Edinburgh who goes by the name of Bird
