Drawing

I started off by not using a pencil first of all, so that I wouldn’t use a rubber to rub out any mistakes. I wanted to go back to being comfortable using a pen and letting my lines move any direction. I wanted to loosen up my drawings, overlap and connect them together. I started working large scale with big sheets of paper. I would often draw from the ground. It was a nice way of working to just feel the work and idea develop.

I really enjoy working with colour and making my work look lively. I want my work to jump out to people. I love how there are so many possibilities when it comes to a blank page, it is endless. You can do absolutely anything. I love to water down the page with water colours first and then complete it with oil pastels. I love to cut out images and create collages, the space can be interesting, looking at the shapes it creates.

Using the projector to project my drawings onto the wall…. Using camera lucida to draw what it is projecting onto the page….
