Contouring My Language

Projects > Contouring My Language

First Stage

Drawing

I always find it frustrating to seperate drawing and painting as I never do. I draw and paint in exactly the same manner with the same intensions, times and materials. However, is it the material you work upon that defines the difference between a painting and a drawing? If so...
