Julia Wakefield is an illustrator, a portrait artist and a printmaker. She trained in the UK and now lives in the Adelaide Hills. She works primarily as a printmaker, and specialises in teaching the simplest methods that can be done at home with inexpensive, non-toxic materials. Julia has worked extensively with etching, solar plate, monotypes and wood engraving. (She teaches printmaking at the Hahndorf Academy on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and on Tuesday evenings by arrangement.) Julia runs workshops and classes in beginners' drawing and portrait drawing for art societies, schools and community groups, including ‘Drawing for the Terrified’, which she developed as a painless way of helping people to ‘rediscover’ the right side, what is often described as the intuitive side, of their brains. She occasionally draws ‘on-the-spot’ portraits at the Hahndorf Academy during the summer months. Julia's class, ‘Drawing Portraits’, will cover the basic ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ of portrait drawing, but the aim of the sessions will be to expand people’s conceptions of what a ‘good’ portrait should look like. Bring sketchbooks, pencils, charcoal, brushes and pen and ink to the first session. A model will be provided.
