‘Art does not reproduce what we see; rather, it makes us see.’

‘There is no way to make a drawing – there is only drawing. Anything you can project as expressive in terms of drawing – ideas, metaphors, emotions, language structures – results from the act of doing. Drawing is a verb.’
– Richard Serra (b. 1939)

On Saturday 28 July I had the pleasure of conducting a drawing workshop at Bendigo Art Gallery.
