In 2010 while I was street trading in Edinburgh, I started drawing while I was out to pass the time. After about 3 drawings I stumbled into this misty forest style and put together a collection of about 17 drawings over the spring & summer. Drawn with 5b pencil mostly, maybe a little Hb, a smudgy soft green rubber & a bit of cloth. I selected 3 shades of pastel & smudged that in on some pictures for a little tone. The foliage experiments in these pictures are what have led to the style of my most recent pictures.
Such beautiful drawings Peter. My daughter’s just started her Art GCSE – I’ll be showing her these as inspiration!
Thanks Ailsa, there is a section up top called ‘being creative’ which is my extended ramble about ideas and tips for drawing & being creative in general. The drawings were a lot of fun and drawing everyday, trying out ideas and developing the style through each picture really improved my technique & in turn the pictures themselves got more interesting as I worked out what I liked about each one and then tried to take those elements into something else.
Thanks for looking !!
