A morning of medium and mark-making exploration with artist Lesley Long-Leather.
About this Event

The tool you decide to use informs the marks you make as much as your own movement does. In this lesson, you will enjoy a two-hour tutored class exploring the capabilities of different dry media.

Learn how these can be used in figurative work to give you a new way of exploring the figure. You’ll come away with a host of different methods for approaching your subject and the medium you choose. This is a brilliant class for people of all abilities. Beginners can try new materials and experienced artists can come to loosen up and refresh their approach to dry media.

  • About Lesley Long-Leather

Lesley Long-Leather is a Gloustershire based artist with a strong emphasis on design principles. Her subjects range from figurative to still life, imagined scenes and landscapes. She regularly employs new materials to keep her practice fresh and her work evolving.
