Catherine Goodman – Drawing Becomes Painting

In this lecture Catherine Goodman will explore the different ways in which drawing informs her painting and print making. The act of drawing from observation is central to Goodman’s practice and she has spent the last six years drawing from Old Master paintings in The National Gallery.  This lecture will examine the process of working from drawings in making paintings and prints, with reference to landscape, people, and film. 

 Catherine Goodman is the Artistic Director of the Royal Drawing School, which she co-founded with HRH The Prince of Wales in 2000. Following her exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in 2014, her Solo Exhibition at Malborough Fine Art (18November–January 2017) includes works on paper alongside large oil paintings of figures and landscapes, and a new series of lithographs that take inspiration from the great twentieth century filmmakers, Andrei Tarkovsky and Federico Fellini.
