Observational Drawing Workshop at The Hearth: Simple Still Life
Tickets: £30 + glass of wine
Free for Hearth members
By isolating a single object or two, you will be able to practice observational drawing with a particular focus on how to achieve 3-dimensional shapes (sphere, cone, and cylinder) as well as learning to capture shadows to bring your drawings to life. We will begin with pencil sketches on white paper before moving on to oil pastels on grey paper.
Basic materials will be provided but please feel free to bring along any favourite sketchbooks/pads or pencils/drawing materials that you may have or may want to use.
ABOUT SARA J BEAZLEY
With over 15 year’s experience in her field, Sara's innovative approach to printmaking sees her combine traditional printing techniques including etching, silkscreen, collograph, photo polymer, relief and mono-printing. The combination of these techniques has become the artist's signature over the years. It is also Sara's marriage of traditional processes with a fresh design aesthetic that gives her work a lasting impact. Embracing the flexibility of printmaking, Sara has secured high profile commissions in the art, design, fashion, illustration, hotel and retail industries. Her work has been exhibited widely in London, Paris, Brussels, New York and Hong Kong.
Her works capture a delicacy and subtle beauty of line, pattern and palette. Juxtaposing architectural drawings or photographs with fine patterned fabrics and elements of the figure, Sara’s work is graceful and sensitive. The carefully composed layers of ink amalgamate to produce remarkably sophisticated images, close inspection reveals many “ghost like” images and tracings.
Clients include Soho House Group, Liberty London, Harilela Hotels, On Pedder, Shanghai Tang, The Peninsula Hotels, Rocco Forte Hotels, Selfridges & Co among others.
