Work completed during this last week of set pieces. Each artist was asked to draw:
a vanishing pathway, a view from one room into another, a copy of a drawing showing foreshortening, a foreshortened view of a hand and finally to produce a drawing of a subject of their own choice.

'Well, the brief was to draw something that you would enjoy doing and meant something to you. This was mine. I enjoyed it so much I did another one of one of Keeper's sons.'
'I think I enjoyed this one the most. I took me ages but I wanted to see if I could draw a black dog which relies on highlights to show the structure and form. I think I'm quite pleased with my first attempt. In the photo of this 8 week old puppy he was using his father's side as a cushion but I didn't want to distract from the main focus so I tried to suggest a white pillow instead. Egyptian cotton of course!'

'Looking back over my workbook I cannot believe how far I have come
in such a short time. The course has been great fun, it has certainly
worked in that I would no longer say I can't draw, and it has inspired
me to continue drawing to see just how much further I can go. Thank you
Sylvia for giving so cheerfully of your knowledge, patience, support
and encouragement.'
'The final piece probably needs some explaining. It is from the opening
ceremony of the Olympic Games and the coach driver is my eldest son,
Christopher..... It was my second attempt and I very nearly gave up, it certainly took
me far longer than the prescribed 3 hours. I used the grid on a print
out of a photo to sketch in the outlines and then took the detail off an
image on the computer screen. My first attempt got so messy with
corrections that I abandoned it and hunted around for a different
subject, but could not find anything that caught my imagination so
returned for a second attempt. I am glad I did.'
