Drawing out for new collagraphs 

Pencil

9 x 20cm

  
  
I’ve proofed these collagraphs to see how they look and that’s led me to redraw them to allow me to put right some things I’m not happy with. That’s the beauty of using card and glue to make plates – so easy to make changes and improvements.

When I returned two days later there was less of the tree left to draw – shame as I wanted to draw the flowing and sprawled leaves against the trunk and logs.

Life drawing with The Drawing Theatre with London Drawing and Prangsta in the cellars of St Pancras Church

Pen, collage, pencil

   
    
 
As always life drawing with London Drawing was an intense and creative experience. This time it was in the cellars of St Pancras Church, exploring surreal scenes by candlelight, bubbles and with accompanying music.

I’ve been driving and walking past these sunflowers for a few weeks now – I should have drawn them a few weeks ago when they were at their best!

And while I drew the drawing above I was listening to the Moulton 77 Brass Band in the band stand.
