Although not in the 'real' Slade it was still pretty exciting to be turning up - three-quarters of an hour early - for my first session.
It was a day of working in shades of grey, black and white acrylics. These can be surprisingly colourful if there are no other colours with which they can be contrasted. Never having used acrylics before was an interesting experience. I still don't like them but there is a place for them when speed is an issue.
Working with unrelated images we created pieces which were then photocopied and scaled up on to large pieces of brown paper.
Sadly, we were a bit pushed for space I think and working on the wall all the time is a bit stressful and I missed having my own table.
The tutor was very good and very encouraging and as usual it was really fascinating to see what everyone had accomplished by the end of the day.
Four more Saturdays to go.............
