Today i spent my time in the life room drawing on an A3 piece but also in my sketchbook. I was observing and drawing skeletons and skulls inside a screened box. I decided to stick to analytical and toned drawings. Today was really productive as I started on a A2 piece but i also didContinue reading “A day full of drawing”

For the past couple of weeks I have been working on my childhood painting/drawing. It’s been a challenge for me because I like working slowly, delicately and on a small scale where as this is on a really big scale and I have to work fast. I’ve also created a smaller design to give meContinue reading “Going back in time”

I spent the day being very productive creating felting sheets. I made two for cutting out ready for next weeks lesson and I also created a compositional piece of seed heads which I will work into with stitch following on from last weeks lesson. I started off by filling up my bowl with hot waterContinue reading “Exploring felting technique 25.09.2020”

In today’s lesson we layered materials and using stitch to secure it and create the drawing of seed heads. I really enjoyed creating these pieces. I love stitching in all different ranges. I was working on the first piece for quite a while as I wanted it to be perfect, but when I do thatContinue reading “Raising the surface 18.09.20”

Paul Cezannes – ‘Mont Sainte Victorie’ This oil painting caught my eye because it has a magical feel to it. It looks like an illustration I would see in a story book. I find it interesting how it’s not super detailed but you can see the features of the land. I feel as though theContinue reading “Landscape research”

Today was probably one of the most challenging days. I was on my feet all day drawing a women’s human form in line drawing. It was extremely interesting as I’ve never done anything like it before. I thought it was a very productive day. Drawing to that much detail and scale was challenging for meContinue reading “Life drawing 16•09•20”

In today’s lesson I began working on a very large piece. This piece is based on me and what has made me the person I am today. Things like; how I looked over the last 19 years, favourite food and drinks from when I was younger,favourite childhood programs etc. I began by sticking sheets ofContinue reading “Thursday 10th of September”

Today’s lesson was very therapeutic and calm. It started off by drawing seed heads, which I quite enjoyed. I used pencil and pen for my drawings. The reason I used these is because I like how much detail you can make because the tip is so fine. I began my drawings with a 3b pencilContinue reading “Friday 11th of September”

Today we did some observational drawing of the lake near by the college. I used charcoal and white chalk. Nothing else. It was a sunny day. I first sat on a bench furthest away from the pier and started to draw in between the trees because I thought it was a good composition. The treesContinue reading “First lesson in level 3 year 2”

Over the last few weeks there’s been a quite a few times where I’ve felt the need to take pictures of the sky. I love taking photographs of sunsets and clouds because of the aesthetic of it. Below are some of my favourites from the last few weeks. I’m not a professional and I don’tContinue reading “Winter skies”
