During our PAPER+WATER+PIGMENT workshops held by Silvia Molinari, the importance of a serious approach to different drawing techniques has aroused.
A basic knowledge as a guarantee of good results when working with colours.
Learning to choose the exact kind of paper for each drawing technique. The art of shading and hatching. Working with graphite and sanguine. Creating the basis for future developments and ideas.
These ideas have been the starting point of a programme of three meetings:
