Through guided experimentation, students will learn to cultivate looser mark making techniques and a deeper understanding of the potential of a range of materials.

Drawing from the techniques used and experience gained during the first day and a half students will create a more sustained painting on canvas to be completed on the second day. Suitable for anyone willing to experiment.

What to bring:

A small sketchbook in case we go outside to draw (Seawhite do lovely concertina sketchbooks 9.5 x 17.5cm
