- DURATION 60 mins x 2
Event Description
Join Caitlin Heslop, London based artist and founder of Barely Drawing, for two drawing in charcoal sessions in May. Caitlin will lead you through two sessions that explore the versatility of charcoal as a drawing medium.
The classes are suitable for all abilities, and each class will work as a stand-alone session, or you can attend both.
Materials needed:
Cartridge paper / drawing paper
Pencil (I suggest HB or 2B)
Charcoal sticks
Fixative spray (hairspray can work too) - this is optional but prevents smudging
A still life set up (I suggest a mixture of man made objects and natural form - e.g. fruit, vegetable, jug, glass)
- Duration: 60 mins x 2
- Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (no replay available)
Meet the Host, Caitlin
Caitlin Heslop is a London based artist working predominantly in pencil, pastel and oil paint. Caitlin loves drawing from nature and from memory, this dualistic way of working brings a dreamlike quality to her work. Caitlin set up Barely Drawing in 2016, a drawing collective aimed at gathering individuals together both in person and online to cultivate creativity within community.
Preparing for the Event
For the best experience, you will need to have Zoom downloaded onto your computer. Please ensure you're connected to broadband/wifi rather than using your mobile phone connection (3G/4G).
We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!
More Information
What if I can’t make the event?
If a recording’s available for the event, you can still register for it and we will send you an email with a link to a recording shortly after it ends.
Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?
Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.
How do I watch the live event?
Rest Less events are hosted on Zoom, a computer application that allows you to attend online events just by clicking a link. For detailed instructions, please go to our "FAQ" page, which you can find a link to in the nav bar at the top of the page.
How do I sign-up for and access the recording? (Recorded events only)
