Glasgow Art Group
Sian Day Lewis
Feel like you've “never been good at drawing”? Or maybe it's been years since you last picked up a pencil? This class is made just for you. The Fundamentals of Drawing is a welcoming, no-pressure space to learn the basics, or finally make sense of them.

We'll take it step by step: understanding shapes, getting proportions right, and learning simple shading tricks that make a big difference. No fancy materials needed, and no prior experience expected. Just bring your curiosity and whatever sketchbook or pencils you have.

Please bring a sketchbook (A4 or A5 is perfect, but any size will do), along with an HB pencil and a softer pencil like a 2B or 4B. A soft white eraser or kneaded eraser is recommended, and a sharpener is always handy. A ruler can be useful for practicing proportions and perspective, though it's not essential. Feel free to bring any pens or extra tools you enjoy using.

Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

This class is designed to give you a solid understanding of the fundamental basics of photography the 'nuts and bolts' stuff that will set you on the path to understanding your camera and how to create great shots. Armed with these fundamentals, you will have the skills and the confidence to approach any style of photography, from portraits to landscapes and everything in between.During this course, we will cover such topics as the Exposure Triangle, Camera Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO and Composition.Photography is a technical exercise and there is a lot to learn, but these basics apply to any type of photography. However, as we only have a limited time to cover each of these topics, please keep a copy of this course guide and practice these tricks and techniques over and over again whenever you can.Taking great photos takes time, practice, patience and consideration. In the beginning stages,it is very easy to become frustrated that your images don't capture your subject as you would like to. This is perfectly normal and even professional photographers face this same challenge. Be patient with it, you're learning and with practice your photography will improve with every shot.

I am a passionate visual artist who explores the fusion of art and textiles. Each piece is a journey into new techniques, textures, and emotions. For me, art is both a creative expression and a therapeutic escape—a way to find balance and connect with others through beauty and meaning.

This painting was done with various brands of watercolor on Arches cold press. The reason behind it is healing so if you notice, the heart and roses in the back look decomposed while the rose in front of the top of the heart are coming back to life.

This young woman was waiting for a ceremony to begin that I was attending. She lives in West Africa and was wearing a string of random beads that my African friends prefer. Her expression was open but patient and knowing. I thought some of her grandmother's wisdom must have come to her, just like the necklace.

I am recovering from being paralyzed from the neck down with Guillain Barre Syndrome. I have always had a gift of art. I was so afraid that being paralyzed for over a year that I would lose my gift? my prayers were answered and my ?gift? is better now than before. I do not draw anything,, I see it in my head and then I paint. I do not have fine motor skills in my hands and I tell people I can not load and unload the dishwasher but I can hold a paintbrush!!!
