Inspired by our free exhibition, 'The Last Caravaggio', join us for a creative session, where we will explore techniques to convey dramatic gesture and evoke emotion and meaning. 

Using the effects of 'chiaroscuro’ and a limited colour palette, this workshop will explore the use of light in composition to create an individual response to Caravaggio's work. 

We will have a variety of media available, including graphite, Conté crayons, and water-soluble oil pastels, to compare the different techniques and effects. 

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