I like to feel material in my hand first. I like to learn new things, different things. I like to try things out to figure out how things feel. Three materials - I use biro pen to make a dent. I feel the line then add colour pastel, water and wax. I feel good when making and sharing my work. All people make different artwork- more ideas to learn from other people and share how we make. I make by my hand not my eyes.
