On drawing

Drawing is the most wonderful thing. I have loved it since I was a tiny child - the magic of making an image come to life. It is fluid, immediate and available to everyone. To make a mark in life is fundamental - drawing is both a metaphor and one way to do this essential thing.

Drawings can be rough hewn or as fine as silk, tiny or grand in scale, they can be made in moments or over many days, they can express anything you want to say.

As for my role as a teacher, Picasso said:

'Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist'

..... So I hope to teach the 'rules' and when digested, look forward to seeing them broken with audacity. That's about it really.
