The In Studio drop-in program presents a demonstration by artist Jamie Sweetman. She explores drawing concepts on form, structure and composition using a variety of mark-making techniques, as in parallel lines, cross-hatching and contour lines. Following the demonstration, visitors are welcome to draw directly from nature in the Sculpture Garden as well as from works in the collections. Join each week to see a different demonstration, and come away with drawings of your own.
Examining the Museum’s emblematic Dutch still lifes, Sweetman discusses structural composition. Drawing from a bouquet of artificial flowers, Sweetman demonstrates how to break down blossoms into simple shapes.
