And moving on...

While doing my walking while drawing Diary I have been attracted to the amount of movements in cities. for the bigger cities such as london i do a type of landscape drawing similar to david Lilburns. As for my other drawings I concentrate on different things as I walk. I try to catch the busyness and rush of the city in  my drawings. Because everyone has a place to be and somewhere to go as quick as they possibly can especially in london they dont stop to appreciate the city, the colours, the buildings and the textures. I use washes in my pieces when i get home. The colours are usually light and what i have in my memory. although the might not corrosponde with what i am drawing. eg. a tree could be yellow an red. The reason i do this is because i think it gives a sort of busyness to the drawings. While in cities i have taken photographs. The subjects are frozen in the photos. I willplay around wit oil pastelle to create the effect of movement in  these still photos.   

That Thing!!!

Started my wire and aeroboard piece after ages of planning it this time instead of jumping into the deep end. Always plan things and test colours composition ect.!! lesson learned. Ive been thinking of makin a short video piece on the movement i have recorded. I keep my drawing while walking. I like the idea of something stationary and lots of movement around it. I also finished my self portrait photograph but cant make up my mind which one to use. . All in all alot going on and alot of ideas. Find it really hard to stick with one!!! thats my biggest problem at the moment.

Some slow shutter speed movement photos i took at the start of the year. trying to in coperate them into my piece with the wire and aero board. Could maybe line them in a border or place them on a road.

Wind is crazy 2nite. Some really cool sounds. If only I had gotten that sound recorder from College. god dam it! Im still continuing with my journey drawings. Looking over the videos i took in england. Really like how my 3d piece is coming together. Its bringing the drawing to life almost. im enjoying working on a big scale. Its a new challenge and something i cant see myself getting bored of easily. Think the rube golberg machine idea has gone out the window. Not for me. I enjoyed painting on photographs. Cant wait to do some monoprints and get this 3d piece finished. Not to sure weither to add colour to it as seen in my note book or paint the wire. I will try use some light washes of colour and if it goes wrong ill paint white over it again. Also like the idea of pouring paint while moving. (in a car, on a bike, walking, running ect.) will have some pics of work up shortly.

Really liked this video piece in the Tait by Igor and Svetlana. It involved alot of movement and i felt that i could corrospond with it through my wind drawings and other work.

Back from a great weekend in London. Got inspired at the tate modern. Would love to do some huge pieces of work.
