WORKS BY STUDENTS FROM BA (HONS) DRAWING AT FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY

“

It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing

incessantly, that one fine day you discover, to your surprise, that

you have rendered something in it’s true character.” CAMILLE PISSARRO

The 19th century painter Pissarro was a great believer in the practice of

drawing and made over 4000 drawn images in his lifetime. This body of work has been made by students from BA (Hons) Drawing at Falmouth,who are

artists at the very beginning of their careers, and it is a privilege to be able to

start them off with the rich and varied landscape of Tresco. Students are

inspired by the contrasts of scenery and light, by the margins between land and sea, by the sculptural plants in the Abbey Gardens and by the myths and

romanticism of the narratives of old Cornwall. Each student arrives with fresh eyes looking for the ‘true character’ of their surroundings. To many it is a

daunting task but it is here that they start their journey and learn to ‘draw

everything and draw incessantly’, laying down excellent foundations for their future practice.

I would like to express my warm and grateful thanks to Robert and Lucy

Dorrien-Smith for their stellar support and encouragement and to Anna Parkes for her patience and professionalism.
