As part of our Collection 100 centenary celebrations during 2024, we’ve invited four artists represented in the MAG&M collection to each present a masterclass.

Join one or all four in this series of intensive workshops that will provide unique insights and access to the artists as they share their knowledge, skills and tips about approaches to the landscape, the figure and the still life.

Each artist will talk about their work, demonstrate key techniques and offer discussion and guided instruction on the essential techniques of drawing.

Leading the first masterclass is Amanda Penrose Hart with a session focused on seascapes.

Please bring all your own materials and refreshments.

Suggested materials:

gesso
acid free cartridge paper
assorted drawing implements / materials (pencils, charcoal, watercolours)
