vintage wallpaper
I’ve discovered my local charity shop sells rolls and rolls of old wallpaper. Today I decided that this will be a great medium for drawing; it’s cheap, available and some of it is vintage. Saturday I will go in and buy it all, give the old girls a bit of a shock! I’m interested in developing within the fields of conceptual and endurance drawing, I’ve got a few ideas up my sleeve.
Right now I’m aiming to do a little bit of my work every evening after work-work, but sometimes it’s impossible. So drawing projects seem to be a more time accessible activity and usually they don’t depend on someone else. I have recently embarked on a few projects that require another body in some way and it is so frustrating. Not that I’m ungrateful.
This here is a shadow silloette drawing of my sister – (she’s not fat, she had her hair down at the time and would be mortified by this image, so next time I’ll get her to put her hair up) a series of pieces currently under construction.
I’ll harp on about it till the cows come home – blogging is a great substitute/ extension of the studio space post study. If you work alone, in isolation, who else do you have to talk to about your work? You still crave feedback. This is the crux of why it is so important to engage with other artist’s work.
