Drawing at Dusk
With Jennifer Huang
Sun 30 Aug | 4 – 6 pm
Guided drawing sessions in the beautiful Gallery space at the Duldig Studio, with skilled painter and draftsperson Jennifer Huang, whose practice is grounded in classical, realist observational drawing techniques. Join an intimate after-hours drawing experience. Participants are invited to sketch from a curated selection of Karl Duldig’s sculptural works. Working into twilight, this relaxed session welcomes both experienced artists and curious beginners alike.
A selection of refreshments included, glass in hand, pencil on paper, and history all around, Drawing at Dusk offers a rare chance to slow down and see the Studio in a different light.
Jennifer Huang is a celebrated painter and draftsperson. Her practice draws upon both her lifelong exposure to Chinese visual culture and a profound engagement with the works of European Old Masters.
