Further Detail
During the workshop explore the creative potential of line with restrained colour and texture, through experimentation with drawn marks, layering and simple collage. Working with a selection of natural forms which will be provided, develop simple line drawings observing shape and detail within, finding your view and response to the form. Explore and simplify, abstract and fragment images to create a highly personal record of inspiration and experimentation to be drawn upon in later work and to be appreciated in their own right.
