Local artist to hold drawing workshop

Mark Dober, Buda drawing, black ink on paper, 2024.

Local artist Mark Dober is holding a Drawing Workshop at Buda Historic Home and Garden in Castlemaine on Sunday November 3.


Dober is a plein-air painter, working in the landscape surrounds of Castlemaine. He was the judge of the 2024 Castlemaine Rotary Art Show and a finalist in this year’s Len Fox Art Prize at Castlemaine Art Museum.


The workshop will be held from 12-4pm (Buda’s opening hours). The cost is $100 (this includes provided materials). Entry to Buda is an additional $10/$12. Participants will need to provide their own lunch. They will be drawing in the garden.


This workshop will introduce participants to different methods of observational drawing, using differing media in a purposeful way.

The aim is to make three kinds of drawings – a charcoal drawing, a dry media drawing of two colours, and an ink drawing.


Dober will provide paper (30 x 42 cm) and drawing materials. Participants are welcome to bring their own paper.

To book, email Dober on info@markdober.com


Payment can be made closer to the time of the workshop.
