Capturing The Change
|
Taking our inspiration from the coastline on the doorstep of Paintbox studios, we will spend time looking at different ways to record what we see and experience, to help us better understand the shifting nature of place. Each day our starting point will be the great outdoors, with a series of fast and slow drawing techniques focussing on the changing shape and character of the shoreline. Back in the studio we will work with a variety of drawing materials including charcoal, pastel, ink and collage, to construct drawings that reflect the particular qualities of a place without necessarily being a specific view. We will consider ways of working with layers of mark-making to evoke the dynamism of the shifting tides and changing weather, not to mention the flora and fauna of this unique habitat. An exciting weekend to explore different drawing methods for capturing the constantly changing elements of place.
