En Plein Air Masterclass with Noel Thurgate

Monday 6 June, 10.00am - 4.00pm

Overview

Date: Monday 6th June 2022
Time: 10.00am – 4.00pm

This day long drawing workshop will focus on ways of interpreting the landscape, with an emphasis on simplifying an otherwise complex subject.

Using basic drawing methods and equipment we’ll look at aspects such as layers within the landscape, compositional dynamics and the illusions of space and depth. We’ll study elements and principles of composition in organising pictorial structure.

NOEL THURGATE  is a 2017 ARCHIBALD FINALIST as well as a drawing teacher with more than 25 years experience, including 9 years as Head of Drawing, the National Art School, Sydney. 

Since 1975 he has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions including the Young Contemporaries, the Archibald Prize and the Kedumba Drawing Prize. He is represented in State, Regional, Institutional and many private collections. Noel currently teaches part time at the NAS.
