Couldn't sleep the other night so got up for a cuppa, stoked up the fire with another log and decided to draw. Bored with my tendency to detail I decided to draw using lines and look what came up. I rather like him so I thought I would share.
Life drawings. We have used different mediums in life drawing. Pencil, charcoal, ink acrylic paint with glazing and pastels. We have also done work on textured paper.
Portrait was a drawing exercise where I was to crop a picture and enlarge section.
Lane way inspired by my photographs of the Bellarine Peninsula. This exercise I used medium, rubbing back method and glazing.
I thought I would use my door photographs for this book project as I find them, along with gates fascinating. They are symbolic, some welcoming and others forbidding. Doors can indicate what possibilities lie ahead should you dare to pass through or you can let your imagination take over. I also plan to do a door collage using doors with- push, pull, exit, stairs, darkroom, emergency etc.
These are just some of the doors I am considering for the book.
