Andy D’Cruz’s Playful Drawing Workshops

Online sessions

In honour of Black History month, the Dragon Café had an exciting event coming up with an incredible artist, to recognise the influences of where we are from.

Andy D’Cruz provided two online art workshops, both were playful drawing exercises, head studies, that practically explored two key aspects of drawing from observation. Exercises taught us to look, and more importantly, to see. They gave us a glimpse of what it feels like to see with razor sharp concentration and sensitivity, when you see in this way you allow the drawing to take on a life of its own.

Andy D’Cruz is a British artist of Goan decent. Born in Uganda in the time of dictator Idi Amin, he and his family fled and subsequently settled in a small coastal town in Wales. This landscape and environment proved deeply influential to his work.

Andy works as part of an arts partnership with Output Arts: https://www.outputarts.com/projects/
