See T'Hed Twenty-Two for previous developments Following my realization that Crayola crayons deliver better and more vibrant colour values, I chose to push more pigment into the card stock paper. Yes, I know I'm back to the multiple aces, but I decided to rest something and stick the faces together. It worked. I'm just not … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – Twenty-Three: Better Colours
working out an Inspiration – Part Twenty-Two: Perspectives
See previous reflections at T'Hed Twenty-One So, I seem to be drawn to multiple faces on each composition and I'm not sure why... Maybe fear that the composition is too weak if not more complex. I keep hearing the statement "it's not the amount of time it took to make this work that dictates its … Continue reading working out an Inspiration – Part Twenty-Two: Perspectives
Painting out an Inspiration – T’Hed: Pencil outline
This past week I decided it was time... let me rephrase that; I decided I needed to start making some art and the T'Hed project needed to get started. In my mind, I'm still experimenting with materials and design, so I am allowing myself to to take impulsive risks and then change them as I … Continue reading Painting out an Inspiration – T’Hed: Pencil outline
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Eighteen
See T'Hed Seventeen for previous progressions... Seventeen inspired me to return to fewer faces in my composition and I stopped and contemplated for some time before adding the second small face. I feel the two-face arrangement feels the best, but that is always changing for me... arg and yay! I felt a preoccupation with the … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Eighteen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Seventeen
See T'Hed Sixteen for previous progressions... This one was drawn on a wonderfully rich, Sienna-orange paper that I felt could allow for some fun contrasts with oil pastels... I didn't want to hide the paper, so I chose to make fewer and bigger faces that it could shine through with. I also felt I could … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Seventeen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Sixteen
See T'Hed Fifteen for previous progressions... As mentioned in the previous post, I wanted a more monochrome feel to it and was a little worried about what using black would do to the visibility of the lines of the drawing... As it turns out, needn't have worried, as the lines jump out... especially since I … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Sixteen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Fifteen
See T'Hed Fourteen for previous progressions... I deviated on composition for this one, because I was getting concerned about stagnation... I felt the need to push the colours and focused on complementary ones for the background... the result feels a little too simple for the feeling I got from the charcoal sketch. I feel as … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Fifteen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Fourteen
See T'Hed Thirteen for previous progressions For starters let me say that I thought I would be moving onto another canvas for future explorations and I had found a pile of interesting card stock to play with, but while contemplating other media to draw with, I found another five sheets of the same paper I've … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Fourteen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Thirteen
See T'Hed Twelve for previous progressions... Note: I did Twelve and Thirteen in the same sitting and used most of the same decisions on both, other than placement of the faces... so the texts will be repeated both days. Going forward there should be some interesting changes... stay tuned... Starting with some blue, textured drawing … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Thirteen
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Twelve
See T'Hed Eleven for previous progressions... Starting with some blue, textured drawing stock, I needed to decide course, material, and shapes... as well as volume (how many faces...). I considered what colours play off the blue the best... I wanted a yellow sky and dark (brown) ground so the faces could pop if they remained … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Twelve
