New Look Website & 2017 1 Day Workshop Dates

29/1/2017

2 Comments

 
I realise it has been many months since I wrote a post here on the Step by Step Art website and for that I apologise. There has been much happening since April 2016 but overlooked the power of the news blog. Hopefully I am able to change that in 2017 with new workshops and articles coming this year.  As technology improves at a rate I certainly cannot keep up with, websites also have to keep up with the times and this is the reason for the 'new look'. I hope it is more visually appealing (we artists love colour!) whilst still offering lots of help and advice to artists here in the UK and around the world.

I am currently in the process of adding six new articles, including a mini step by step coloured pencil tutorial (other mediums will be available in future tutorials too). I also have a date for the first two workshops in May which will be run as a two day weekend workshop that can be booked together or individually depending on your preferences. The Saturday will be the coloured pencil workshop of a Snow Leopard eye on black Colourfix, which I ran in August 2013, and was quickly booked up. On the Sunday will be a graphite pencil workshop of a Ring-tailed Lemur, so if you are interested in learning how to work with pencils to create detailed art, these workshops may be for you. You don't need any previous experience with pencils or with art to join in, but I can guarantee that if you are a complete beginner you will be very surprised with what you have achieved by the end of the day.

Everyone gets their own workstation so you have ample room to spread out. The price of each workshop includes the paper, outline print out, booklet/sheets, and if you are bringing your own products to the coloured pencil workshop, you will be supplied a colour chart for the day or you can loan a kit. The pencil colours are individually coded to match the workshop notes, making it easy to select your pencils. The graphite pencil workshop also includes the paper, outline and workshop booklet. You can also loan a kit or purchase a home kit.

Previous graphite workshop
My next 1 day workshop coming up is the graphite pencils where I will be showing you how to create fur realism using this Ring-tailed Lemur image as the subject. Working using my own 'Blend & Erase' technique, this workshop is open to anyone wishing to learn about working with graphite pencils regardless of current artistic skills, even if you have never used graphite in art before.  Graphite pencils are a wonderful medium allowing you to create some highly detailed, even photo realistic effects and as there is no use of colour, Graphite pencil art really adds strength and drama to a subject.

This workshop will show you, whether an absolute beginner or intermediate:


* Where to begin with a graphite portrait
* How to prepare your graphite piece to 

  achieve very fine details
* The best ways to blend graphite
* How to layer a graphite portrait

* How to create the tones in a graphite
  portrait
What is included in the day:
*The support paper
*Reference photograph
*Photocopy of subject for Tracedown use
*Worksheets for the subject
*List of medium do's & don'ts for future reference
*Tutor demonstrations
*1 - 1 tutoring where required
*Free hot & cold drinks throughout the day
*An art kit if loaning or purchasing
Venue: 
Bonsall Court Community Centre, 
Off Bowness Road, Newbold, 
Chesterfield, Derbyshire, 
S41 8AW

WEBSITE UPDATED AND EXTENDED

The New Look Site
Anyone having visited and bookmarked this Step by Step Art Website will see it has had an overhaul in the last few days, the main reason is because I have decided to extend this site to offer artists out there, a website that offers art workshops and online advice. For those unable to attend my workshops, there will be articles and video tutorials provided to every artist worldwide.

I enjoy sharing my own artistic knowledge on a wide range of things from how to produce a pencil portrait to product recommendations that I have tried & tested myself.  I hope to bring on board other artists to share their knowledge too. Offering information not only based on mediums I work with, as that can limit the market considerably, but articles from artists who work with other mediums.

So why not bookmark this website, there may be some tiny nugget of advice found within these pages that helps save the life of a drawing! 
Please feel free to share this with other artistic friends and if anyone has any articles that they would like to submit to this site, please get in touch, I would love to hear from you!
