Centro Cultural do Fereira do Zezere

Some photos from a shoot in the space we will use for the exhibition "Visual sounds".  Helio was so kind to give me permission to do a shoot in that space during the time I had a friend photographer and a model over from England.

The photos however are not related to the exhibition.



 
 
 
 
 







 
 

Introduction to Charcoal ~ Workshop by Rebecca R F Ferreira



I recently gave a workshop introducing drawing with charcoal at Heather Taylor´s atelier in Estoril.
We explored drawing with different types of charcoal and manipulating it with many different tools: rubbers, cloth, brushes, scalpels. We explored using a combination of these to create textures, light and dark, reflection and mark-making. We drew from life and also practised letting our intuition take control of our drawing, in an exercise of abstract drawing.
An enjoyable day was had by all!

Please contact Rebecca if you are interested in a charcoal workshop in the future, thank you.

Free Etching Workshop - Casa do Celeiro, Colares
6 students (full house) learned the technique of hardground (águaforte) starting from preparing zinc plates to printing.  It went very well and all learned the basics of this age old technique.  I would be happy to offer more workshops to groups at a reduced rate and could  include accommodation for those coming from afar.  Have a look at the work below and thanks everyone for participating in this jolly event!
