MORE Life Drawing.

Best life drawing lesson so far! It was all about notion and tapping into the subconscious, iv now been shoe various drawing systems but today was about attempting to by-pass the sometimes worrisome conscious mind and attempt to tap into the subconscious and examine the results. To do this I needed to work quickly by producing an array of studies in set times (between 1min and 10) in a variety of materials! it was a task to be loose, become free with my mark making and overall trusting my automatic instincts!

Life Drawing, College...

College work update, I've now been doing life drawing since just before christmas. Im finally becoming  slightly more relaxed at drawing her. I think it shows in my work.

I began with a simple pencil sketch. For some reason (probably because i didn't want to stare at her) the drawing i did was miniature! It was like she was floating in mid air. Alot of people said because of the scale, it was making the drawing visually impacting. The sense of lost emotions when looking at this floating figure. 

For my first attempt, i'm not completely disappointed! certainly room for improvement.

Second pencil sketch, A1. Still not completed. Next week I will definitely be applying my own style, perhaps a burst of colour. All this pencil is far too characterless and dull!

Week 3. My favourite so far. I can say i prefer working in colour, and in a more loser and abstract style.

I combined some of my favourite materials to work with, watercolours, acrylic paint, bright coloured pencils, chalks and brown paper! 

These are two blind drawings I managed to squeeze in at the end of the lesson. Probably my favourite of them all! simple yet effective I think

Textile journey project part two finished!

These are the several wall hangings i made using a variety of techniques. Screen printing, embroidery, foiling, fabric painting, appliqué, and stencilling. 

When i was planing my final outcome, I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve. and looking back into my textiles sketchbook, i think i have done my plans justice!

I will try and get some scans of my sketchbook pages that back up my thoughts ect.

Oh yeah, My journey was London, Brick lane market.

I wanted to focus on the buildings and future architecture that's taking place. Then , using colour, i was trying to represent how busy, vibrant , unique and multi cultural the capital is.
