DRAWING IN THE LANDSCAPE Janet Weir













MARCH 6th & 7th


DRAWING IN THE LANDSCAPE WITH JANET WEIR














The tutor Janet Weir is a Dunedin artist who runs the South Seas Gallery in Brighton (just out of Dunedin).


Janet runs a series of classes that focus on drawing landscapes and people doing what they love. The classes are held out in public places; such as local libraries, Cafes, Pubs and great Outdoor spots. Janet's classes are relaxed, social and tutored. The classes focus on constructing strong compositions for paintings. Getting used to using a visual Diary in public places. Revisiting basic drawing skills and understanding the steps needed for successful painting. The class is a great re-focus for new and more experienced artists.
