Drawing Workshop| Andy Quilty

Utilising ballpoint pen, participants will learn to achieve a more primal and instinctual approach to mark making. Through removing the option to erase marks and take backwards steps, the workshop encourages a looser and more organic outcome in each drawing. Participants will learn the value of chance in an exploratory and evolving approach to drawing, and how this can serve as a means of discovering ones unique style in both drawing and other disciplines of Art making.
