Art tutorial: interesting shapes
In this playful and accessible short workshop I share different ways to discover and develop interesting shapes to incorporate into your abstract art. We’ll be exploring ways to find shapes out in the world and 2 x ways to develop your own collection of shapes through simple drawing exercises.
Materials
To complete the drawing exercises you will need some paper or your sketchbook and some drawing materials such as pencils or water based coloured pens.
