Today I have spent the day in the studio drawing, and I feel like I am getting on well. I have managed to finish my first drawing of the junction, and am making good headway of the building facade drawing. It is really enjoyable for me to be able to spend time drawing, and take my time and not rush it. I have also decided to add more shading and dimension to these drawings, than flatter drawings I have done recently.
I also went out this afternoon to try and find a larger piece of wood for my woodcut with YanYan – but everywhere in the area sells small pieces. YanYan’s friend can help me source some.
Tonight we went to the studio of the artist, and print-maker Wang Jun. Over green tea we discussed many interesting aspects of culture here with regards to control, censorship, art education and liberty. On sunday I will meet Wan Jung for hougo (hotpot). Wan Jung was the artist in residence at the Chinese Arts Centre in Manchester last summer.
I got home late, so it is another short blog post. I want to get up early tomorrow for more drawing and I need to think about the three dimensional work.
