Spend five evenings looking at art, drawing and trying something new.

Join artist Andy Parsons for five evenings this Autumn. Andy will guide drawing & sketching sessions at The Model. Look closely and respond to the artwork in the galleries and take the opportunity to play, experiment and explore different drawing techniques. Andy Parsons lives and works in Sligo. His artistic practice spans drawing, painting and sculpture, with a particular interest in people, places and the activities that bring them together.

No previous experience needed. Whether you have a drawing practice or haven’t picked up a pencil in years, you’re very welcome.

All welcome. Beginners encouraged.
