Service Description

This course is ideal for those who want to build on their drawing experience , and introduce a wider range of materials into their work - pastel, conte , ink and more painterly drawing processes, as well as experimenting with different papers and surfaces. Each week we will consider the process and materials of a particular artist and put these into practise in a series of drawings. Students are encouraged to experiment in mark making whilst building on the fundamentals of drawing from life. All materials as well as tea & coffee are provided Students will be given optional 'homework' to do in between classes - sketchbook and pencils required. Meg has exhibited work both in the UK and internationally. Her print ‘Dog’ was selected for the collection at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford and the Jiangsu Art Museum in China. In 2018 artist Marcus Cornish selected her work for inclusion in Flowers Gallery‘s long-running West End exhibition programme "Artist of the Day", where works have been selected by leading contemporary artists since 1983. The revolving two week exhibition schedule provides a platform for a selected group of artists each year, each presenting a one day solo exhibition at Flowers Gallery’s Mayfair location.In 2020 she was shortlisted for the Discerning Eye Drawing Bursary. Meg has taught Painting, Drawing and Printmaking at various art schools, and this year we are delighted she has joined us up in Scotland at The Edinburgh Drawing School
