I picked my first blind portrait to create with the wire as I felt it was the best spaced drawing. I was excited to try this out as I hadn’t heard of creating a continuous line piece with wire before. Getting started was the most…
This part of the workshop really intrigued me as I had never done anything like it before. As we were online, we created self portraits by using a mirror. I was expecting it to take a few drawings until I figure out what the best…
As part of our online class we were paired off and had to produce a portrait of that person. I created this portrait of Anna using watercolour for the shapes in the background and then pro markers for the detail. I wanted to create a…

For this part of the workshop, while classes were online, I went around the area of the Belfast Campus and St. Anne’s Cathedral. My first piece was a coloured study using pro markers of the Ulster University campus building. I feel my use of colour…
