Course summary:
In this 3 hour workshop we will start with a gentle walk on the beach at dusk, finding stones, shells and seaweed, organic forms to draw from back in the studio, using ink and wax resist. We will explore the senses through touch and sound, working intuitively and quickly. Meditation and drawing exercises will encourage a sensory approach to drawing. As the light fades we continue to draw into the gloaming, with the objects, and our drawings, lit only by the light of candles as they flicker and throw exciting shadows - transforming our beach finds into mysterious miniature landscapes.
Suitable for all, including beginners.
