Workshop: Sketching in the Gallery Forecourt with Rachel Ellis

Sunday 13 December 2026, 10.30am-12.30pm

Learn about responsive sketching in this workshop with local artist Rachel Ellis

Participants will be guided through drawing exercises with various tools to equip you to sketch subjects in the Gallery Forecourt. Elements of design and composition, including perspective, will be discussed and examples of artists' work will be shown to illustrate concepts.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced artist, you will leave with a series of sketches to develop into larger works if you wish, and a broadened understanding of ways to respond to our environment.

Materials we will use include pencils, charcoal, graphite, paper and kneadable erasers.

$40 BRAGS Members, $45 non-members, RSVP essential
