Art Interrupted

Today’s plan went out the window. I was happily bobbing along, working to plan, when I got a message that the vintage bookcase we bought at the weekend was going to be delivered.

It was bought, paid for, and labelled Sold, but we weren’t expecting them to deliver for a while because they usually wait until they have a full van load, which is all good.

Anyway, they were able to deliver the bookcase today, so I abandoned the art-making at the warm-up stage to get things ready. After it was delivered, well, it’s a bookcase and I’m a person with a bookstack that’s apparently taller than the Statue of Liberty according to LibraryThing, so books had to be moved and whatnot.

The good news is that I moved a shelf of books to make room for all my art markers in my studio, so they are much more likely to be used now.

The warm-up art above is blind contour drawings on an A1 sheet of paper. Just looking in the mirror, not at the page, and drawing myself. Then I started adding mixed media layers, and as you can see it’s all in a very unresolved state.

Til the morn,

Suzanne

    Stack as tall as…. I know that one!
    I loved contour drawing back in the 70s when I was doing it regularly for a community college class. It really helped my ability to “see” and not anticipate

      It’s such a great way to draw, and I should use it more often because the results are always interesting. Here’s to book stacks 😉

    […] put this A1 page of blind-contour drawings back up on the easel and messed about. Disrupt, Disrupt, Disrupt. […]
