Bell House

Join for a fun and creative day where you are encouraged to explore the natural world and be adventurous with your art.

Get close up to gnarly old trees, sit on a bench and look up through the tree branches, take a closer look at individual plants and flowers, and experiment with ways of reproducing these views in drawings. Liz Charsley will show you how to use a different media at each session, including charcoal, pencil, and ink, to express your ideas. You can learn new techniques or develop those you already know. Tickets are £36 for all three sessions. A few spaces are available this Sunday and can be booked using the code SUNDAYART. Materials will be provided, including paper and drawing boards.Open to ages 8 - 12. All abilities welcome.About Liz Charsley:Liz Charsley is an artist with a fondness for wild spaces. Born and raised in Canada, Liz has always spent as much time outdoors as possible. Moving to London upon completion of her BA in Fine Art, Liz has become familiar with most of the parks in South London, cycling through them and along the Thames, gathering ideas for drawings. Liz works on paper, using charcoal, oil pastel, ink, or watercolour to make large drawings of wild, unpopulated landscapes, or wildflowers and weeds. She has also produced hundreds of cyanotypes of weeds and grasses. Liz was appointed Canadian Artist in Residence at Dulwich Picture Gallery in 2011, to support the exhibition Painting Canada: Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, and stayed on as Teaching Artist until 2019. Liz led workshops in drawing and painting for children and adults, and now teaches 2 weekly classes for adults in her home in Herne Hill (and on Zoom since the beginning of Covid). Liz was also Artist in Residence 2018-2019 at Winton and Hugh Myddelton schools in Islington, teaching a different aspect of drawing to each class in the school throughout the year.Ticket fee: £36 for all three sessions, materials included.
