Chat and Sketch
‘The Supper at Emmaus’

FREE
13th April 2021

Online workshop will be held on Zoom.

 
This interactive session will start with a short talk introducing you to the painting ‘The Supper at Emmaus’ by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, there will then be an open discussion and time to ask questions about the artwork. Throughout the session there will be drawing exercises led by the tutor to help you explore the painting by creating your own sketches. This will be a friendly and informal event where you can chat about art as you enjoy sketching together. If you would like to show your drawings at the end of the session, there will be time to do this although there is no pressure to do so.

The session will last approximately one and a half hours.

Please note - the Zoom link, meeting ID and passcode to the session and Links to view the artwork being discussed will be in the 'additional details' section of your Eticket from Ticketsource, you may like to have this viewable in a separate window or on another device during the session.

Materials you will need:
You can take part with just a pencil and paper but might also like to use other media. Coloured pencils or any other colour media can be used if required.
