Drawing Club: Ishbel Myerscough

This class will be a combination of keen observation and concentration working from a seated model, using drawing and collage to investigate a figure close-up, pinpointing areas of interest and fascination. All levels welcome, including beginners.

The class will accommodate max. 20 people. It is not required that you bring any materials with you, but you are welcome to do so if you wish. Otherwise all drawing materials will be provided such as pencils, pens, pastels etc.

We will also keep Emma McNally: The Earth is Knot Flat open slightly later than normal until 6.30pm, if you want to visit the exhibition before the class begins.

About the artist

Ishbel Myerscough (b.1968) is recognised for her highly detailed and meticulously observed portrayal of her subject matter, which over the past three decades has primarily included herself, her close friend and fellow artist Chantal Joffe (also featured in the Drawing Biennial 2024 – Drawing Biennial 2024 (drawingroom.org.uk)), and their families. Myerscough combines a focused study of youth and coming-of-age with adult experiences of parenthood, desire and bereavement, evoking the complex cycle of human experience. Myerscough studied at Glasgow and the Slade Schools of Art, and works in London.
