Draw, Paint, Print and Process
with Jane Strother
Choice, Chance and Drawing. Work with the process and discover your outcome, build on initial drawings using a range of tools and techniques (including print, stencil and collage). The idea is to keep an open mind, to enjoy the procedure, to examine, consider, distil, extract, connect and adjoin. To respond to what happens as you work.
