Dún Laoghaire offers fantastic sketching opportunities, from landmark architecture to open panoramas. This workshop with artist, photographer and writer Gwen Wilkinson will take place both inside the dramatic and light filled space of dlr LexIcon, and directly outdoors in the garden space. Participants will have time to explore elements of composition, perspective and light. In this informal sketching session artists will be encouraged and supported in the act of looking and developing their drawing skills.
What to bring: sketch book, pencils and/or pens.
In the event of bad weather we will stay indoors.
