TUTORS
TUTOR: Paul Thomas
Anita Taylor and Paul Thomas run the Jerwood Drawing Show and they wrote a book on drawing titled 'Foundation Course'. Paul is a full time artist having stopped teaching in 2004, he was at that time Head of Painting at Cheltenham School of Art (University of Gloucestershire).
This three day part of the Drawing Masterclass is written into the Foundation Course.
'It's drawing from the imagination. I refer to it as subjective drawing. It starts with a piece of paper(7'x4') and scenic charcoal. We stay with charcoal and that one piece of paper for the whole time. We can use erasers but no ink chalk etc etc. We make marks and gradually through the process of making we move from these 'random' marks to lines then shapes and on to forms, adding subject matter and content as a vital part of this as we go. The drawing develops and changes dramatically over this time.so its very much a practical, hands on, big drawing experience. Some quotes accompany and challenge the work (mostly Picasso about subject matter evolving and not thought out beforehand).'
