Inject some confidence into your drawing during this one-day workshop designed to expand your drawing vocabulary and encourage expression. You will be guided through some different drawing activities covering gestural mark-making, drawing with energy, and using different charcoals, pastels and ink. Still life objects will be used as source material, as well as working from your imagination, to create a large scale drawing full of life, in either one of the materials or a mixed media piece. Let yourself go and challenge the possibilities of what a drawing can be.
