This workshop provides a relaxed but focused environment in which to discover some of the beautiful pieces of sculpture, in a range of media, within the V&A.
After meeting, we will make our way to the Medieval & Renaissance Sculpture Collection where students will choose a sculpture (or more than one) to draw from. Louise will give a short introduction and provide one-to-one tutoring throughout the session. At around 4.30pm, we'll gather together for an informal group discussion of the work. By the end of the workshop, students should have made several drawings, possibly using different materials.
All levels of experience are welcome.
Louise Balaam is an abstract landscape artist who lives and works in Kent. Her work is heavily inspired by an emotional response to the natural world. Her process is to draw outside, soaking up the experience of being in the environment, and then take that inspiration back to the studio to paint, aiming for a direct and intuitive response to the experience of being in the landscape.
Your usual drawing materials, for example
