Left Handed Action
Hi there let me explain what i mean by left handed action as i don't want anyone to get the wrong idea ha ha.
The first ever lesson my class had been introduced to was a mixed medium of sculpture, paint ,charcoal and pencil. We were given various sketching exercises and the one that stood out for me was sketching with the hand that is most foreign, which is my left hand.

Now i'm not going to lie i wasn't happy with the results, i wanted to scream! but what changed my feelings towards my sketch were the words of the tutor who in rough words stated that "Its about accepting the work produced by the hand most foreign to you". I really took those words on board.
I attended my life drawing class the following week, which i really enjoyed, i produced a very decent charcoal sketch on A2.

Working on a large scale with my left hand felt seamless as i had more space to navigate the paper, i also found that being relaxed and accepting of your work allows you to break out of your boundaries an express yourself more freely.
My most recent activity is a dedicated sketchbook to my left handed work and it's progress. I would encourage any artist to dedicate some of their time to doing what i am doing, you never know what you might get from it.
I will make the effort to post at least two sketchbook pieces a week.
Thanks for reading
