Easter

19/4/2019

I wanted to draw something for Easter as I did during Advent - but found this an even harder task to get quite as I wanted (striking images that are meaningful without being cliché). In the end I did the following drawings but not quite happy with any of them. Click to view larger and see captions for some of the thoughts behind them.

Rebekah commissioned me to draw my take on Genesis 32: 22-32 - it's a strange passage in the Bible where Jacob wrestles with an unknown man who reveals himself to be God. Final image in charcoal below:

Advent

In December I shared a drawing every day for Advent. Each drawing illustrated a bible verse, and aimed to give an insight into why Christians feel such hope and joy at this time of year. I'm planning on making the series into some kind of booklet for next year so watch this space. Here's just a selection of the images (click to see full images - originals were approx 1.5 x 1.5 inches square).

Slade School of Fine Art

27/7/2018

 My parents kindly gifted me an art course at the Slade for my last birthday - I chose one that would focus on moving from drawing to oil painting. I had hoped it would be more focused on mark-making and how drawing can influence painting, but it turned out to be more of an introduction to using oil paints. I haven't used them since school however, so in some ways it was good to have a refresher and just invest some time in thinking about using colour, as that's an area in which I don't have much confidence.
