In a series of exercises we warm up to explore different positions and drawing techniques. Participants work together by continuing each others works, loosening up with a very playful approach. In the last hour everybody works on their own drawing or painting, that can be taken home as a beautiful souvenir of the day.

We build from thirty-second gesture poses into longer studies, changing material and constraint as we go: non-dominant hand, one continuous line, drawing only the shadow. The exercises are designed so that experience stops being an advantage after about ten minutes.

It is concentrated, slightly nerve-racking and unusually good for a team: everyone is a beginner at the same thing, at the same time.
