DRAWING FRENZY

I've spent the last week doing a combination of observational drawing and drawing from pictures taken of places visited . To begin with I was continuing to draw buildings and man made scenes around Bournemouth and Boscombe. While I was doing this work it was suggested to me to use my method of drawing the exaggerated perspectives to draw natural landscapes. I therefore turned my hand to drawing, beaches, fields, farmland etc and revisited my pictures from jersey to create angular flat colour landscapes.

Initially I wasn't sure how well this way of working would translate to natural environments due to it's sharpness. However I think it's worked just as well as drawing built up areas. This revelation now means I can broaden my subject matter, without worrying too much about the way it's created. I was worried the city landscapes were becoming a bit samey, so being able to look at natural sources of inspiration while keeping with the blocky style brings a new element to my work whilst keeping continuity of style.
