SHE LANDED BADLY, AND CRAWLED AWAY

last week i had a life drawing, visual studies class with the purpose to develop proportion. the original proportion techniques were ok however i prefer to compare one body part to another for example the shin is the same length as the belly etc, to achieve proportion. although, i do believe i should have another go at the techniques i got taught as they're obviously proven to work.

i found terry's right arm rather difficult and my usual difficulty arose of the angling of the shoulders. i often use this colour technique when doing a quick sketch and really enjoy it. i used water colour pencils for an intense colour however decided not to use them wet to keep it crisp. overall im pleased with the outcome considering the time in which it was created within.

THE REASON FOR WHICH SOMETHING EXISTS

finally the main purpose of this blog has arrived; to document my year undertaking the art foundation. i have just completed the fine art rotation with an abstract theme, not my favourite nor most talented area but i found that it really allowed me to free up and have fun with colour. during my research i discovered a wonderful woman who goes by the name of cecily brown...

'the girl who had everything' was the first painting i saw of browns and i was amazed; i love the fleshy tints and the hidden figures which allowed me to get lost within the painting with fascination unlike other abstract works. i get an intense raunchy, intimate vibe form her work which is simply magical!

 

ps, my dearest rhy rhy has left to study history, ill miss her greatly :(
