Looking at your subject from all angles, you will play with different techniques in various media. Try drawing in white on black paper, watercolour with fine tipped pen, conte with lighter fluid, dip pen with ink, and drawing with a frisket resist. Timed sessions, including some super-short studies, will get you out of your head and having fun again. This intimate and playful workshop is appropriate for all artists, from beginner to advanced.
Culverwell is a big believer in taking the pressure off the process of artmaking. He reminds us that that every artistic exploration is an investment in your future pieces. “There’s no wrong way to make art,” he says. “It’s really important to allow and encourage self-discovery.” When not teaching classes at Emily Carr University, Culverwell can be found around Deep Cove, sketching rocks by the water or drawing quick impressions of the works on display at the Seymour Art Gallery.
