Sydney Harbour
Inspired by the woodcuts of Australian artist Margaret Preston, you will learn a simple printmaking technique to create a print based on Sydney’s iconic harbour. After drawing directly on a sheet of polystyrene foam with a pencil, you will then print your image onto paper before adding some colour to complete your work.
