In this workshop you will look at yourself or other participants more closely by drawing a (self-)portrait with oil pastels. The aim is to capture the essence of your subject rather than about getting every detail to look right and take inspiration from impressionistic artists like Monet and Renoir.
If you would like some guidance, I am happy to give any tips and pointers.
Oil pastels and paper are provided but feel free to bring your own materials. I will also bring a small mirror for self portraits but you can use photographs for references as well.
A large exhibition of oils, watercolours, acrylics, felting, print making, life-drawing, wood carvings, etc.

Voice of the Fans, the new exhibition curated by Leeds Libraries and the British Library, explores the raw creativity of football fanzines that were born out of the DIY ethos of the music and punk scenes.
Join Matt Lidbury from Lower Block, a photography zine that celebrates football culture, for an informal Q+A about creating a unique, independently produced publication that celebrates style, design, architecture and photography.
Join us for a taster session exploring linocut relief printing techniques and print a range of your own greeting cards, or designs onto paper.
Your tutor will guide you through designing an image for linocut. You will be shown how to carve the lino block, apply the inks, and print it – both with our traditional Albion and Imperial relief printing presses, and burnishing by hand. You will be shown examples of lino prints and advice on the kind of designs that work best.
Explore the process of screen printing onto paper and develop your confidence as an independent screen printer. You will learn how to register and layer your designs, and print with multiple colours. You will gain an understanding of the photo stencil emulsion technique and will learn how to coat and expose screens using our UV exposure unit. Your tutor will also introduce you to relevant contextual artists and screen printing terminology.
