“Places 2” Lesson 7: Lawnswood Cemetery, Leeds.

I know it might seem like a strange subject for these works of art but Lawnswood Cemetery in north Leeds has some amazing gravestones to rival any sculpture park in my opinion. This week we used a background covered in emulsion paint with black and white oil pastel over the top to create the highlights and shadows. Fabulous work from you all once again! Well done everyone and thank you so much for absolutely giving it your all this term and producing such brilliant pictures. It’s been a pleasure to see.

This week was the final lesson in the Places 2 course and now we’ll be taking a break over Christmas but courses will be returning in January and full details can be found on the “Courses for 2025” page.

If anyone wants to join in with these lessons they are available on my Patreon page and you can try it for free by tapping on the link below.

Online Draw Alongs in March 2024

Hi everyone

I will be holding the following “Draw Along” sessions via Zoom.  Both these Draw Alongs use the same materials (see below).

DAFFODIL

Date: Wednesday 20th March 2024

Evening session:  6pm – 7.30pm         Payment ref: DAFF

Subject:  “Daffodil”.  

Price per session: £7

Closing date for payments:  Monday 18th March 2024

HARE

Date: Wednesday 27th March 2024

Evening session:  6pm – 7.30pm         Payment ref: HARE

Subject:  “Hare”.  

Price per session: £7

Closing date for payments:  Monday 25th March 2024

Materials needed:

A4 grey/mid-tone pastel paper/card (if you don’t have pastel paper, the grey/brown side of a cereal packet will work – that’s what I’ll be using during the lesson).  

Soft pastels (NOT oil pastels – they work very differently) – I’ll be using a set of 24 Inscribe pastels.

HB pencil, putty rubber/kneadable eraser.  Also, a cloth to clean your hands might be useful.  

Blending tools such as a paper stump, tortillion or cotton bud may also be useful.

A charcoal pencil/black pastel pencil/dark graphite pencil would be useful for the “Hare” Draw Along.

If anyone needs any advice on materials please get in touch.  

The camera will give a view of my hands throughout the sessions so you will be able to see my picture taking shape whilst creating your own at the same time.

Please contact me if you would like to book a place so I can send you the booking details.  Payment can be made by bank transfer or cheque.  If you already have my online payment details please use the correct reference when paying.  Payments for both sessions can be made as a single total payment but please indicate this either in the reference or by email. Please drop me an email when you have paid so that I can confirm receipt and book you on the correct session.

I will email the Zoom meeting link to everyone after the relevant closing date along with the image to draw from.  The image can be printed out if you wish or you can display it in a window on your screen during the session.

If you have any questions or would like to book a place please get in touch.   If you no longer wish to receive these emails please reply to this email with the subject heading “Unsubscribe”.

Hope to see you soon.
