SUMMARY:Pastel Painting - Tauranga Society of Artists
DESCRIPTION:Pastel painters love the immediacy of drawing with a rich and painterly colouring power. If you haven’t used them before you may be surprised at how easily the essential techniques can be mastered. Learning to handle the pastels and the attractiveness of the work you can produce is very satisfying.\nYou are welcome to attend Mary’s sessions and see for yourself the versatility of this medium which is suited to either large\, ambitious compositions right down to small quick sketches. The whole pastel process is one of ease and simplicity – no palette to organise\, no canvas to prepare\, no need for water or turps and no clean-up afterwards.\nMary is passionate about her medium and will welcome you to her sessions to share the pleasure of working with pastels and will show the various types of pastel available\, their wide range of colours\, subtle hints and textures. \nFirst and Third Monday Mornings of each month – continued in the afternoon\n\nMorning 9.30 – 12.00\n\nAfternoon 12.00 – 4.00 \n\nConvenor is Mary McTavish\nEmail: jhmemcts@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Life Drawing Sessions
DESCRIPTION:Come along to our Life Drawing bi monthly Life Drawing Session\nLife Drawing Session Friday (first and third Friday of the month) \nWhere: 171a Elizabeth Street West\, Tauranga\nKoha: $10.00 for Society Members\, $15.00 for Guests \nLife Drawing\, Figure Drawing… the act of drawing a living person.\nIt’s one of the most challenging and interesting ways to develop your drawing skills. Skills that translate to all aspects of art making.\nIt’s also a great way to escape into your own world for a little while.\nThis is an untutored session\, however\, we won’t leave you completely alone if you are new to it and need a little help getting started. It is a very friendly\, mixed level\, session and you will be surprised what you can learn and achieve with a little encouragement.\nIf you are an experienced artist or student a Life Model will give you unlimited inspiration and a chance to experiment with your technique\, materials and style. And we all appreciate and are inspired by new approaches.\nWe always take time for a feedback session before we leave. This is a positive and invaluable part of the session. It is inspiring looking at what worked during the session and why; sometimes the less obvious “works” provide the most interesting insights. There is always something to learn.\nBring your own drawing/painting gear (any media is fine)\, there is usually sugar paper available for sale at the Art Room. We do have some easels at the rooms\, but they are limited. If you have your own please feel free to bring it along.\nPlease turn up in time to assist with set up\, and stay on to assist with pack down. We are a self supporting group and if everyone helps it is very quick and easy. \nPS:  If you are interested in modelling and are available please feel free to PM me. We love experienced Models\, but are happy to use a sprinkling of “new” models… so don’t be reluctant if you haven’t done it before.

SUMMARY:Urban Sketching :
DESCRIPTION:Next Sketch Up : TBA\nBruce marketedgenz@gmail.com 021 730 705 \nSketch On !! \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUrban Sketchers see the world one drawing at a time. Join us as we let our drawings tell a story of our surroundings\, the places we live and the places we travel.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe essence of Urban Sketching is to draw on location\, indoors or out\, and capture what we see from direct observation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll levels of sketchers are encouraged\, from beginner to advanced\, using whatever medium you prefer.\n\n\nSharing ideas and enjoying our drawing in a social\, relaxed community of sketchers is what we are all about.\n\n\nPlease bring your own sketching materials and other items like sunscreen\, hat\, a seat\, water\, etc.\, as required for outdoor sketching. We will meet at a particular location at a specified time and then the choice of what subject to draw is yours. We will usually get together again after about 2 hours to share our work and socialise.\n\n\nWe love to share our work while observing the guidelines outlined in our manifesto.\nContact:\nPhone: 021 730 705 (Bruce)\nEmail: marketedgenz@gmail.com\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Urban-Sketchers-Tauranga-111933961272856/
