Colour pencils have been with us since the beginning, which is why they are often considered a ‘childish’ art material reserved for waiting rooms and pre-school activities.
Fundamental drawing techniques, observation and composition forming are some of the greater capabilities of the colour pencil that will be harnessed and highlighted in Jasmine Crisp’s guided Colour Pencil Revival workshop.
Participants will work ‘from life’ with Jasmine to create unique and fantastical scenes, whilst adopting integral practical drawing skills using only materials that are accessible to all.
Jasmine Crisp is a Painter and Muralist from Adelaide, South Australia. Her characteristic practice features local figures, spaces and belongings from her lived experience that combine to create playful genre paintings of the imagined familiar, often adopting symbolism from notable paintings of history.
Crisp completed her BVA (honours) at Adelaide Central School (2017) and has since been involved in artist residencies across SA, Iceland (SíM, NES) and Finland (Koli Ryynanen). Crisp’s work is included the Artbank collection, awarded in the CCH Art Prize, Prospect Portrait Prize and featured in the Ravenswood Art Prize, Kennedy Art Prize and Art Gallery of South Australia.
