This two-parter is perfect for those who recall their dreams to their loved ones at the breakfast table, or those who have just had enough of observational drawing! We’ll start with drawing from a chosen treasured memory (using photographs, diary entries, holiday itineraries, or family heirlooms as prompts if you like) pushing our powers of recall to the limit. Then in the second session we’ll go further by using a piece of literary text as inspiration for a drawn composition. You’ll learn to translate the words you hear or read into a visual scene that conveys the details and feelings of the piece. A great exercise for anyone to push themselves beyond observational drawing.
