About

Inspired by 'Discover Liotard and the Lavergne Family Breakfast', this free, creative session explores techniques to create shine, sheen, and reflection on objects and surfaces in still life drawing. 

We will explore colour, line, surface, and texture using a variety of mediums, including graphite, Conté and water-soluble oil pastels, comparing different techniques and effects.  

Limited materials will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own sketchbook and pencils.
