Reflection: Drawing
Eli (Graphite Pencil) was my favourite work produced during the drawing module of my university degree.
I worked on this artwork for over 10hrs, painstakingly trying to capture my son, Eli…and if I’m honest, it probably took that many bottles of red as well.
Reflection: Printmaking
I loved lino cutting and printing. It took me back to high school, where you just made a mess everywhere. Oh when you rolled that ink in the right way and pulled that paper off and you didn’t smudge or under ink, best feeling ever!
Reflection: Painting
My favourite medium! I felt my confidence lifting when I started this module. By giving me a framework to use, whether it was negative space, masking or inversion, I was able to just focus on what I wanted to communicate through my art.
I started very safely, with Loophole. Something personal, something that met the brief…but then I have started to look at artists such as Swoon, Banksy, Globus Collective and Mr Brainwash, and realised I didn’t need to be safe. Let the fun begin!
