Sessions are studio based on Days 1 - 3, on Day 4 and Day 5 they are split between working on location and in the studio. Examples of techniques and materials will be shown, demonstrated and discussed.
Handouts and images of artists work will be used to introduce the practical activities.
These practical activities will be set using a variety of techniques designed to help you break out of old habits and extend your skills. Practical work will involve drawing from observation whilst using a variety of materials including charcoal, chalk and ink.
These will be supported by one-to-one guidance and an informal review at the close of the session.
