Life drawing

Sorry for the lack of postings on my behalf recently - been really busy and loaded with the cold. I'm just going to give a brief summary of what's been happening on a over the last couple of weeks.

My second week in printmaking was quite productive. Managed to get some prints done for experimentation in the studio. Only problem was the bill but you dont get anything for free.

Last week I was in life drawing, which was brilliant as always. It's such a fantastic way of spending my time as it allows me to generate a lot of work and develop my drawing skills. Also, I find it really useful to contextualise my life drawings and make them relevant to my studio work. Unfortunately I had to go home early on Tuesday because I was feeling (and sounding) so unwell and disrupting the class with my coughing and spluttering. Wednesday I was still feeling awful but decided to spend the day in the studio putting up images on my studio walls, researching in the library and, for the first time in aaages, painting! I really enjoyed my little bit of painting. I photocopied some life drawings and worked into them with ink pen and gouache. I was quite pleased with them.

Next week Im offskie to London for 3 days. I'm really looking forward to it, going on lots of gallery visits. Oh! That reminds me tomorrow (saturday) I'm going to the preview of David Shrigleys new exhibition in the southside studios. Cannot wait - I love his work.
