ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
Join Yvette Coppersmith from wherever you are for a drawing session using a range of works from the collection.
To start, you’ll ease into the session with a mindfulness exercise and some stretches before kicking things off. Next, we’ll warm up your art-muscles with some rapid sketches and break down portrait structure into simplified shapes. Then we’ll get into the meaty section where you’ll be exploring facial shapes and angles, and balancing analytical drawing with the freedom of mark making.
Beginners to advanced welcome. Have your drawing tools ready!
