Draw to discover: Jan Gossaert's 'The Adoration of the Kings'

These workshops are designed for everyone - artists and participants of all abilities are not only welcome but actively encouraged to join. Each session focuses on a single painting from the collection, using drawing as a tool for close looking, reflection and personal engagement. After meeting in Supporters' House, we head to the Gallery for a 45-minute drawing session, exploring one painting through a variety of observational and experimental approaches. Together, we will consider questions such as: How do we look at a painting? How do we respond to it? What can drawing reveal about our experience of an artwork? Following the Gallery session, we return to the Salon in Supporters’ House for refreshments and discussion. Participants can reflect on their drawings, share observations and learn more about the historical and artistic context of the featured work. By combining close looking, creative practice and conversation, the workshops aim to deepen our understanding of both the artist’s intentions and our own intuitive responses to art. Join us for this festive session as we explore the angels and intricate details in Jan Gossaert’s The Adoration of the Kings, before returning to the Salon for coffee and discussion. Drawing materials and refreshments are provided. Access: For House and Exhibition Members.
