Paintings made from drawings
original drawings
Drawings made from a model replica of Ham House made by my fellow classmate Emily Martin. Sadly I didn't take a photo of her model.
So, over summer I have been working on a set uni project called Drawing Fiction where I had to choose off a list of possible sites to explore: I chose Hampton Court Palace (it sounded the most potentially fantastic out of the rest). From here, I was then asked to draw the place from imagination, observation and memory.
For our first Studio day, my tutor organised a workshop where we built our chosen places from memory out of mount board and glue. It could have been a room, a corner or the whole site: I chose to construct the whole site. From the models we made drawings by cropping in on certain elements. Then we were asked to draw from other peoples models - which leads me onto these drawings and paintings.
I just saw from my drawings a flicker of an idea - drawn out (more considered) onto wood and painting with flat acrylic.
This whole projects purpose is to provide me with space and opportunity to develop my drawing practice, to analyse and evaluate my own drawing methodology and my perspective on drawing.
