This year's guest artist is Alan Davie. Using a piece of A2 or A3 paper and
medium or media of your choice, produce a drawing or painting inspired by
the work of Alan Davie. The subject of your work is to be ΠSymbols and
Superstitions. You may use lettering, words, symbols, colour and shapes
and patterns in your composition. Looking at the artwork of Native American
tribes may also inspire your ideas.

with this see contact below.

Look at the two paintings by Alan Davie in the Paisley Art Institute 2008
