Let's Draw like Kshiraj Telang! (Direct Line Drawing)

In this workshop, we'll be studying the expressive drawings of character artist Kshiraj Telang (King, Rovio, Moon Active), with the aim of practising confident line-work in figure drawing. Participants will be encouraged to use ballpoint pens and markers to reduce the temptation of erasing and "scratchy" lines.

The workshop will include guided assignments and takes place at Zurich's Archeology Institute, where participants will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to studying the museum's collection of classical sculptures. Participants can additionally bring their artistic portfolios to receive feedback and personalised assignments. Feedback can be given in English, German or Polish.

PRICE
35 CHF for the 2-hour workshop, paid via TWINT (preferred) or cash.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Drawing materials (paper, pencils, etc.) and guided tuition. IMPORTANT NOTICE: please bring 1 CHF for the locker, as bags and jackets are not allowed in the museum.
