Event Description

Join Caitlin Heslop, London based artist and founder of Barely Drawing, for a botanical drawing course, where you will explore different ways of drawing leafy subject matter. Using plants and flowers that we have to hand at home, Caitlin will lead you through a 4 week course, consisting of quick drawing exercises and more sustained studies. We will create beautifully simple line drawings, tonal studies, and expressive drawings, taking inspiration from other artists. The classes are suitable for all abilities, and each class will work as a stand-alone session, or you can attend all four to see your work develop over the month of April! All classes will begin with warm up activities to help build confidence and to get stuck in straight away!

Suggested materials : 

Plants/flowers
Pencils (I usually use 2B, 3B or 4B)
Paper
Eraser
Sharpener
Ink (optional)

  • Duration: 4 x 60 mins
  • Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)

Meet the Host, Caitlin

Caitlin Heslop is a London based artist working predominantly in pencil, pastel and oil paint. Caitlin loves drawing from nature and from memory, this dualistic way of working brings a dreamlike quality to her work. Caitlin set up Barely Drawing in 2016, a drawing collective aimed at gathering individuals together both in person and online to cultivate creativity within community.
