Sean will share the wonderful world of Atlelier drawing. This workshop is for participants that have no or little experience in Atlelier drawing.

Sean will be taking participants on a journey of expressive drawing using the traditional atelier method dating back to the old masters. In this workshop we will cover principals of proportion, line and gesture, and tone. This is a hands-on practical workshop, with demonstrations to illustrate the various topics.
