Metalpoint drawing came to prominence in Renaissance era Europe and continued to be a core drawing method until it was overtaken by the graphite pencil. It saw a resurgence of popularity in the 20th Century and is now used a small number of contemporary artists, including 
Roy Eastland
. Roy is one of the world’s leading metalpoint artists, with his award-winning silverpoint drawings regularly exhibited around the UK. In the first workshop of its kind, Roy will introduce us to the processes of metalpoint drawing, explaining the tools that can be used and the surfaces that can be drawn on. This workshop is ideal for artists with some drawing experience who want to learn the more about metalpoint drawing and Roy's own personal approach.
What to Expect
Metalpoint drawing encourages a subtle and considered approach to drawing. This workshop, delivered through demonstration, personal feedback and practical application, is an opportunity to gain an insight into Roy’s methods and will give you the skills to develop your own metalpoint drawing process. You will leave with your own metal point stylus and prepared surfaces to work on and will have the opportunity to bein your own drawing during the weekend course.
What to Bring
All materials are included with this workshop. You may wish to bring a sketchbook for taking notes and a plastic folder for taking home your drawings.

It is worth a visit. The palace is very luxurious and exquisite not only at that time but also now. The Chinese elements are very shocking. Among the many castles and palaces in Europe, the Chinese elements are the main ones. You can also see the wallpaper, furniture and porcelain customized in Guangzhou, China at that time.

One of the best piers in the South of England. There is lots to do with tons of seaside rides, fun arcade games and food. Highly recommend catching the sunset here and if you&rsquo;re lucky you might catch the starlings dancing at dusk, I didn&rsquo;t know they do this and it was the most spectacular striking and stunning natural phenomenon I had seen, it was mesmerising. Highest chances of seeing the starlings dance is between November-March, we visited in early March
