This one day workshop will concentrate on tools to develop a strong drawing practice and will explore composition and expressive approaches to mark making. We will be drawing plants, each other and the studio surroundings while working to develop hand-eye coordination and connection through blind contour, contour and gesture drawing. We will use a variety of media such as charcoal, pen & ink, markers and gouache.

All supplies will be included plus each person will receive their own sketchbook.
