In this Digital Studio session, students will learn how to create a painterly composition of the figure with ink and collage.
The tutor will introduce expressive approaches to using ink and watercolour, exploring a range of mark-making to create unique, primed paper. These primed papers will be used to build dynamic figure collages, exploring composition and colour in new, creative ways. We will push beyond drawing from observation into a more imaginative realm, exploring the tension that lies between figurative and abstract work.
Each Digital Studio session makes use of the School's multi-camera digital studio to create drawing-from-observation opportunities that are only possible online. Tutors offer guidance throughout to help students approach different poses and get the most out of each session.
Please note: online models will not pose nude. Models in this series will be semi-clothed.
