In this relaxed and informative workshop, students will be encouraged in the fundamental steps necessary to develop an essential set of drawing and painting skills, emphasising exploration, processes, and materials. We will look at the visual building blocks of line, tone, composition, space, and colour. There will be progressive developments in these skills and an introduction to ‘learning to see’ by way of practical, observational exercises, giving you confidence in your artmaking. BSA will supply sufficient materials for the workshop.

NB: Please remember to bring materials from the course "materials list" online.
