BEGINNERS LEARN TO DRAW - NO NATURAL TALENT REQUIRED

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO LEARN ?

You don't need any previous experience or natural art talent to do this workshop. In fact sometimes it is much easier to teach someone who has no idea about drawing as you don't come with any previous ideas on how to do things.

Each student is given lots of one on one attention.

Learn easy techniques to enable you to get a perfect circle and oval. Richard & Diana will show you through shading, blending and lots of other techniques you will be using through the weekend.

Drawing a realistic eye step by step. Breaking the eye down into simple steps and then blending it with the techniques you learnt previously. Finishing the eye with detail.

Using a simple recipe, we will take you through the basics of drawing a face step by step. This way you will be able to draw a face at home with no reference and you can make sure all your faces in future are correctly proportioned. This recipe also helps when you are drawing people from life and from photos.

You will be completing a portrait using all of the information you learnt in the previous day and using special techniques developed by Richard & Diana Moore to make drawing portraits easy!

The class size is limited to 10 students and there will be both myself and Richard teaching.

The classes are fun and informal, with lots of encouragement and support from ourselves and the other students.

We would love to see you along at this workshop.

Testimonial:

I have just attended the workshop Portrait Drawing Weekend offered by Richard and Diana Moore (Moore Fine Arts) held at the Community rooms in Takapuna May 1st and 2nd 2010.

Although in my 64th year I approached this course with some trepidation as I had difficulty in drawing a straight line or indeed drawing anything you would recognise as an artistic form.

However I braved the day on Saturday morning and was pleased to be welcomed by Richard and Diana who were very friendly and welcoming.

The course was organised – but informal – non judgemental – but inspirational – grounded and instructive – but most of all fun – the time just flew and the weekend seemingly was over before it started.

Although in my opinion I was probably at the bottom of the class of 10 – I had picked up tools and skills I could use in both my hobbies at home and my job as manager of an engineering company.

The crunch came on Sunday night when I put my weekend’s work in front of my kids – Nicholas and Marianne – probably my harshest critics – yeah Dad not bad - they gave me 7/10 – almost brought tears to my eyes.

For those of you who would like to draw or paint – who say you have to be born to it -I say to you give Richard and Diane a try – masters of right brain activity.
