In this one-day workshop, Andy Dolphin will guide you through a process of simplifying shapes and dealing with the much-dreaded issue of perspective. Beginning with pencil and sketchpad, you will learn about thumbnails and basic line work. Andy will set a simple exercise in pen and wash then, time and weather permitting, you will put your newfound sketching skills to the test choosing from the variety of interesting subjects around the Whaling Station. 

This workshop is suitable for ages 15 years +, from beginners, to those who have some drawing skill but who want to improve the fundamentals or add a bit of colour to their work.
