NEW DATE -
SUNDAY 13TH SEPTEMBER 'QUIET SUNDAY' WORKSHOP IN ARTworks - 10.30am - 1.30pm
For neurodiverse and others who find noise and socialisation difficult.
In this months session we are using lines and patterns to create abstract landscape artworks. Lines aren’t all the same. Lines can be curved, loops, wavy, swirling. They can be thin or thick, short or long even zigzag.
All these parts put together can create texture and depth to a
picture, also as a nice bonus it can be quite relaxing too.
