Mixed Media Workshop

including Broadstroke Pencil Drawing

During the Semester Students experimented with many different types of media. Students have learnt many different skills but have tended to concentrate of one type of medium at a time. There are times when using Mixed Media can produced even more beautIful results with their work. For example, watercolour and coloured pencil work well together. Ink pen and watercolour washes work well together. This final session encouraged Students to experiment further to broaden their knowledge and skills.

There are many different approaches to pencil drawing. Broadstroke Pencil Drawing involves sharpening the pencil in a particular way and is a technique that is used mainly for landscape drawing. Broadstroke drawing is essentially a freehand technique which produces a loose, spontaneous drawing which has appeal to a large number of people.
