ARTIST Sally Gatie is leading a still life drawing masterclass at Scarborough Art Gallery this weekend.

The human figure has always been Sally’s main source of inspiration.

She paints both large and small scale artworks using oil on canvas.

Working from sketches and photo-montages, Sally creates her paintings using a grid system, working from her studio in Scarborough.

She regularly shows her works across the UK - from London to Edinburgh.

Sally said: “There’s a wealth of fascinating objects in the Collections at Scarborough Art Gallery which, of course, lend themselves perfectly to our theme of still life.

“I’ve really been enjoying choosing items for people to draw.

“The course is aimed at adults ranging from complete beginners to those with intermediate skills.”

Scarborough Museums Trust learning manager Ruth Yoxon said: “This will be a fun and relaxing day during which participants can enhance their artistic skills and also see some intriguing objects not usually on show to the public.”

The drawing masterclass will take place on Saturday, March 23, from 10am to 4pm, at Scarborough Art Gallery on the town’s historic Crescent. Places cost £35 and participants are asked to bring a packed lunch.
