Dare to Draw Workshop 102 for Drawing Lovers!

Dare to Draw 102 Drawing Lovers is a 8-week long drawing workshop, created and facilitated by artist Coco Riot.

This workshop is designed for people who have already put their pen on the paper and are willing to get more practice and skills. You do not need to have attended Dare to Draw Workshop 101 to do 102, but it is a good thing if you have a basic practice of drawing.

Deepen your drawing techniques and dive in the world of colour, contrast and shading until reaching the sophisticated skill of drawing from within imagination, memory. Experiment with markers, watercololour, acrylics and pastels and create masterpieces at a new level.

Dare to Draw Workshops practice a non-traditional approach to teaching drawing that focus on developing participants' obervation and awareness skills and building up confidence in your mark-making capacity also known as drawing. Using a combination of short fun exercises and longer focus driven exercises you will solidify your basic skills and gain a new set of practice.

Each workshop is once a week, two hours long and runs on Thursdays, 6.30 8.30 pm from March 5th to April 30th.
