Interpretations: Look, Record, Draw • Beaney & Littlejohn
In this 5+ hour workshop from Jan Beaney and Jean Littlejohn, we learn to look — becoming aware of what attracts us, record — collecting ideas for later development, and finally draw — developing what we saw and recorded into finished drawings and illustrations. We explore many techniques including drawing, painting, collage and making marks. As Jan and Jean love to say — “the more you look, the more you see”.
