Workshop
Talk and draw
Organised by National Gallery
Our regular creative sessions consider a National Gallery painting in two ways
About
Gallery educators Fiona Alderton and Hannah Cushion take a closer look at Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres' 'Madame Moitessier'.
First, listen to a brief talk, then respond by making your own work in this short, artist-led drawing session. Please have to hand a sharp pencil, paper and a rubber.
The session will take place online and will last about 1 hour.
Sometimes we might suggest using different drawing or craft materials so, if you are able to, please keep a pencil case of different colours, a ruler and a pair of scissors nearby, as well as anything else you might like to experiment with.
