Automatic Drawing Workshop

So what is `automatic drawing`?
Well  basically the idea is to have NO idea or rather no pre-conceived 
subject/composition in mind when you start a drawing.
 It works by letting the mind and hand work freely, making a variety of instinctive marks
 across the paper, it`s intention is to visualize the sub-conscious 
or is an expression of the unconsciousness!?!

Using charcoal & soft pastels with a circular stencil this was the first piece I produced......


then as I continued on with it, rubbing it back,
 applying other layers and so on 


.................this was the final piece!
 Interesting result but I think I over worked it!


Some close ups! 


Mmmmm, quite like these!!!

And below some pics of what the others were getting up too.............





Everyone`s `creations` were so different and unique!!
 Makes you wonder what`s on their minds?!?!

Overall it was a very enjoyable day and something I look forward to undertaking again.
