The theme for this project was sea or landscapes. As a class we were taken to Broughty Ferry beach (near Dundee) for a day of painting and sketching. It's a really lovely setting and thankfully it wasn't raining! Our sketches were supposed to be about mark making rather than representative and I chose to look at verticals and rocks.
We then used a whole load of different graphite, resists, print, and paint techniques to produce a whole load of paper samples. I'm not sure that out of the 40 odd I did I've picked the best but here are a few photos:

the paper sample on the right was worked in fabrics and stitch for 'Textile Techniques'
My next blog post will be up soon and I will post a couple of pictures of my beach sketching/painting day. This 'Surface Decoration' project was combined with 'Textile Techniques' and I will show photos of my fabric and stitch interpretations.
I welcome any comments - I'd love to hear from you :)
