Enjoy an inspiring day exploring techniques to replicate the textures and colours found along the shoreline; rocks, pebbles and fossils, seaweed fishing nets and wire, rusted metal and driftwood, all inspiration for development into a personal abstract shoreline seascape. Respond to your own memories, found objects, sketches and photographs; alternatively use the resources supplied by the tutor to spark an idea.
