Drawing Workshop: Exploring Perspective

Drawing perspective with Eleanor Greer

Do you want to build a creative drawing habit or develop existing skills? In the context of the Eindhoven Library, we will explore a variety of sketching and drawing techniques while taking inspiration from library reading materials and the surrounding architecture. Participants will develop their findings in pursuit of a personalized approach to sketching and drawing. Each instructor-led workshop will be led in English, beginning with a short introduction and demonstration, and ending with time for a sustained drawing. The workshop is for everyone ages 15 and up.

Understanding your tools

Working with standard drawing materials, we will explore short, focused drawing exercises and techniques to develop a deep understanding of using drawing tools to explore value, mark making and various forms of observational drawing. Additionally, we will investigate how drawing techniques can be used to focus and connect to your surroundings. After each workshop you can expect to take home a series of sketches and at least one focused drawing, along with feedback and encouragement from peers.

An earlier participating of Eleanor's workshop said the following about her workshop:

''I enjoyed meeting! Our drawing "session' gave me a big Boost already. Looking forward to the next time''

Exploring Perspective

Explore and practice the basic rules of perspective to take away the mystery of recording 2 point perspective on paper. Put these tips and techniques into practice by drawing the interior space of the Eindhoven Library.

Eleanor Greer

Eleanor Greer is an artist from Southern California, USA and makes colorful paintings that explore her curiosity of the built environment as it interacts with the natural world. Her practice-based research uses the language of drawing and painting to probe topics of urban development and landscape change where she lives. Eleanor has a BFA in Drawing/Painting and an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from San Diego State University. When she is not drawing and painting, she is taking walks, spending time over coffee with friends and family and planning new places to visit on her Dutch bike.
