In this lesson we go even further into grabbing. By continually using subtraction we define new shapes allowing all our previous marks and actions to become the inner detail. By grabbing and re-grabbing we find our shape and form rather than trying to imagine and create it tied to an image in our heads. We watch and shape it in response to how we feel about it and what we see. Each new shape refines our form and increases our tones and contrast. We will learn to create new pieces we can refine and then connect. A mix of grabbing and lining techniques are introduced to help us find form and shape.

We begin to find a form that we can assess and ask questions about. What does this feel like what could it mean. Questions begin to move us forward and further define our forms identity and meaning.
