The Hill, Abington Park, from behind the cafe

4B pencil

Now the trees have their foliage I am faced with the usual challenge of how to represent that on paper. Having just been to see the David Hockney exhibition I’ve been trying to learn from his set of twenty five drawings where he used tone and mark making together. I will keep trying!

Moth Migration Project 

Posted on May 28, 2017 by jeandrawingaday

I’ve been taking part in the Moth Migration Project devised and led by artist Hilary Lorenz. 

Those taking part made prints of moths (at least five of each chosen species) and sent them to Hilary. It’s been great to see all the moths made in different printmaking processes, by adults and children, groups and individuals wing their way to New Mexico to become part of the eclipse (collective noun for a group of moths!) the aim is to collect 40,000 moths. You can read more about, and maybe even take part at the link above. 

Mine are collagraph prints. I have neglected collagraph prints lately so it was the perfect way back for me. I tried to choose two moths that are related to the East Midlands of the UK. Here are Evergestis Pallidata on the left and Pyralis Liengialis on the right.
