As you know I aim to return to painting for 2013. I have started sketching ideas for my upcoming Paintings. My first subject matter is going to be on Slavery, from historical to contemporary Slavery.
Below is my first two sketches for this theme. Hope you like them 🙂 Media is mixed but primarily Pastels and Chalk:
2H – 6B Graphite Pencils
Kneadable Eraser
Blending Stumps
Latest drawing for my Cousin Lia Byng – trying to get a bit more artistic again with my work. Feel I was striving for too much realism which is not what I want to be. Just explaining why I have added a sketchy element with the big pencil marks 🙂
Finally finished my latest drawing of my Auntie Pam’s Grandchildren. This was quite a tough piece to draw, having five subjects and the source material was smaller than I am used too (because of five people). To make the faces in the drawing bigger I had to re-arrange the composition they will fit better on one page. The photo originally was full bodied with the subjects in a line. Was good practice and fun to draw 🙂
Did this last night, in the evening for my Uncle who sadly passed away after battling cancer. This is for the cover of a memorial scrap book for the funeral. It is 4 x 5 Inches in size, but scanned in as 600 DPI. The source material was quite small so had to make up some detail myself.
RIP Uncle Clive. XXX
