Croquis Café workshops are relaxed 2 hour gatherings to explore new techniques and subjects in an indoor setting. A great way to spend time with friends and learn new skills. No previous art experience is necessary, just a willingness to have a go!

You will need a basic sketch kit including sketchbook (smooth paper), pencil, pen with waterproof ink and a basic watercolour set with brush. I recommend your paper is minimum 160gsm weight, and you will also need a water pot and tissues/rag.  Spare sketch kits are available on loan but if you would like to borrow materials please indicate this on the booking form.

For those that wish to stay and continue the sketchbook banter there will be the opportunity to lunch together afterwards (and continue sketching if you wish!)

Price:
20€
Excludes refreshments.

Places are limited so advanced booking is essential.  Please book online below or email me annette@sketchlanguedoc.com

Dates & Locations:

Wednesday 13 November
When sketching a building some of the most interesting features will include windows and doorways. They give character, depth, colour and an element of intrigue about what may lie behind – day or night!  We’ll look at proportions, sketching a frame in perspective and use of colour and shadows.

Wednesday 20 November
The Eyes have it
Learn about the structure of the eyes and how emotions and age can be conveyed through drawing them in different ways – there’ll be plenty of laughs as we create pages of expressions in our sketchbooks!

Wednesday 27 November
Winter Watercolour Florals
We’ll explore some essential brush techniques to create beautiful loose floral designs – perfect for Christmas cards and gift tags.

Wednesday 11 December
Birds of a Feather
Using reference photos of traditional birds found in Languedoc we’ll study their shapes and bring a touch of extra colour to the feathered friends in our drawings!

Wednesday 18 December
Let it Snow!
Together we’ll sketch out a winter scene and discover how to create a wintry feel through some alternative but simple techniques with watercolour.
