On this liberating two day course with Marie-Therese King, you will explore and experiment with a variety of drawing techniques pushing your skills to new horizons and perhaps taking you out of your comfort zone!
Working with charcoal, acrylics, pastels and inks, you will draw from life in a playful and expressive way, discovering the joy of mark making with an assortment of tools – from bamboo pens, sticks and brushes to chunky pieces of charcoal. Expect to draw fast, draw big... nothing should surprise you!
