These are some of the working drawings that I am using to develop the new series

out on a limb

April 21, 2013April 21, 2013 | veronicacay

I must admit I had been feeling a little raw and exposed – out on a limb – but fantastic news this afternoon I have sold a substantial number of works from my show – sheer bliss – the feeling is fantastic. I had purchased a swag of new paper on thursday and had been thinking maybe I was being a bit extravagant but all good now. Here is another drawing from life drawing on thursday that I have coloured up a bit with watercolour pencils. A4 strathmore with biro and watercolour pencils.

I love drawing with a biro and sometimes I pull them at life drawing sessions here is one image from thursday I did some others but I want to add a bit of colour to them first – this is an A4 strathmore visual journal 20 min pose.

monoprint

I have just starting to play around with mono prints – this was done by painting acrylic onto glass and taking a print by placing the paper on top and pressing with my hand. I have then worked back into the print with charcoal.

not good but saved from the round file – amazing what a bit of cropping does 🙂

new model

Life drawing sessions started again this morning after nearly 2 months away. We had a new model and I found it very tough going – nothing seemed to be working for me. Maybe one drawing is publishable but the rest is better left in the round file!
