We will begin by exploring the potential of the materials on their own and then the emphasis will move to layering and combining materials, looking for unity of colour, texture, surface and imagery. Subject matter will range from direct observational still life, textural studies from the natural word, landscape and cityscape.We will use traditional and non traditional drawings tools such as twigs, sponges and erasers to make expressive works whilst maintaining skill and dexterity in drawing.
