Calling all illustrators! Join the Swansea Illustrators Club for a hands-on, observational drawing session designed to sharpen your visual memory. Hosted by local conceptual illustrator and educator TS Wolfe, this Instrument Drawing Boot Camp is all about learning to see the structure of things.TS Wolfe will be bringing a unique collection of instruments—including a sitar, accordion, violin, banjo and more!—for a specialised still-life session. The goal of the workshop is to teach you how to capture the true essence of each instrument. You’ll learn how to simplify complex forms while retaining the essential iconography that makes a violin look like a violin, or a sitar look like a sitar. What to Bring:Your own drawing materials: Materials are not supplied, so please bring your trusty sketchbook, your favorite pencils, pens, or whatever medium you prefer.An instrument (optional but encouraged!): We’d love for attendees to bring their own instruments for others to draw. We currently don't have any brass or woodwind in the collection, so if you have a tuba, trumpet, or flute gathering dust—bring it along!

Ymunwch â Chlwb Darlunwyr Abertawe am sesiwn lluniadu arsylwadol ymarferol a luniwyd i hogi eich cof gweledol. Dan ofal y darlunydd cysyniadol ac addysgwr lleol TS Wolfe, pwrpas y Bwtcamp Lluniadu Offerynnau hwn yw dysgu i weld strwythur pethau.Bydd TS Wolfe yn dod â chasgliad unigryw o offerynnau—gan gynnwys sitar, acordion, ffidil, banjo a mwy!—ar gyfer sesiwn bywyd llonydd arbenigol. Nod y gweithdy yw eich dysgu sut i ddal gwir hanfod pob offeryn. Byddwch yn dysgu sut i symleiddio ffurfiau cymhleth tra'n cadw'r eiconograffeg hanfodol sy'n gwneud i ffidil edrych fel ffidil, neu i sitar edrych fel sitar. Beth i'w Ddod:Eich deunyddiau lluniadu eich hun: Ni ddarperir deunyddiau, felly dewch â'ch llyfr braslunio dibynadwy, eich hoff bensiliau, beiros, neu ba bynnag gyfrwng sydd orau gennych.Offeryn (dewisol ond fe'ch anogir!): Byddem wrth ein boddau pe bai'r mynychwyr yn dod â'u hofferynnau eu hunain i eraill eu tynnu. Nid oes gennym unrhyw offerynnau pres na chwythbrennau yn y casgliad ar hyn o bryd, felly os oes gennych diwba, trwmped, neu ffliwt sy'n casglu llwch—dewch ag ef!
