Belconnen Arts Centre Sketch Club

Sketch Club @ Belconnen Arts Centre

Every Thursday 10:00am–1:00pm - and it's FREE!

The Sketch Club will meet in the foyer of the Belconnen Arts Centre on Thursdays at 10:00am, and finish at 1:00pm. Morning tea is available at the Centre.
This group has been instigated to provide a relaxed venue for artists wishing to simply spend time with other creative souls and draw together. All are welcome and there is no tuition, but local artist Judi Power Thomson will coordinate this group and is happy to assist where needed.
Participants to bring along what they need to draw with – the Centre also has seven easels for use.
Recommended materials list:
• Easel and/or backing board.
• Bulldog clips to attach your work to the board.
• Any type of paper to draw on or a large sketch book at least A3 in size.
• Graphite pencils, coloured pencils, pastels or charcoal, whatever you’re comfortable with. If you are intending to use charcoal or pastels, please bring a small ground sheet to put under your easel.
• Soft rubber or kneaded rubber.
Possible subjects for drawing: Depending on the weather, we may be drawing outdoors, taking advantage of the beautiful location of the Belconnen Arts Centre. When drawing indoors, participants can work from their own photographic material or a “Still Life” can be set up. For figure work, we can each take turns of sitting for a short time. The Sketch Club will no doubt come up with their own suggestions and directions and it is completely flexible.
Please contact the Belconnen Arts Centre on 6173 3300 to let us know if you’d like to come along!
