‘Drawing with dry media is as old as mankind.  Ochre and charcoal dust were blown through straws onto cave walls by the first artists.  In more recent times, the dry media of pencil, pastel, and charcoal were favoured by travelling artists as ideal for drawing with minimum of fuss on site in sketchbooks or portfolios.  Drawing was the means through which European artists recorded, prepared, studied, and imagined, and it was often a prelude to painting or engraving.  Dry media were also central to art training and versatile both en plein air and in the studio.’

Artists in Conversation: Saturday 23 March 2.00 – 3.00pm Join me in conversation with Brendan Flynn, Professor of Art History, when we talk about ‘Winter at the Chase’.
