See T'Hed Ten for previous progressions... Note: I am repeating the same words as yesterday, as I feel they are relevant here and both drawings were done at the same time. I fell upon a couple of sheets of a darker grey paper. I looked at them for a while and wondered if I should … Continue reading working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Eleven

See T'Hed Eight for previous progressions... Where am I in this one? A dark mood emerging, resolute to move forward with this project... sounds good to me. I used the slate grey paper with gouache on top... I blended the base colours with white to give them more depth and volume. I can't decide if … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Nine
Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Ten
See T'Hed Nine for previous progressions... I fell upon a couple of sheets of a darker grey paper. I looked at them for a while and wondered if I should draw in only black charcoal or add colours... I saw the outcomes clearly in my mind and I didn't feel the colours, but perhaps I'd … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Ten

See T'Hed Seven for previous progressions... Staring at some slate grey drawing paper I was sure I'd like to use the charcoals again, but I needed something different... some other texture to play with. I decided on gouache. I started with painting in the gouache background... unblended and straight pigments. I really love how this … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Eight

See T'Hed Six for previous progressions... As stated yesterday, both Six and Seven reflect my crummy moods of late... Yesterday, I acknowledged some anger and sadness... this one makes me think I am receding into an empty space of icky feelings. I'm shrinking and loosing form (my self) and the happiness (yellow shapes) are all … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Seven

See T'Hed Five for previous explorations... It's been a couple of days since the last drawing and I'm feeling stressed out! Maybe it's the news of Covid flaring up all over the place, maybe it's that I need to redo some work for University and just don't feel like it, but I know I need … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Six

See T'Hed Four for previous progressions... As written yesterday: I've shifted to a thick, textured drawing paper. This is a creme coloured paper. I found some tonal Conte & charcoal sticks to play with and was uncertain about the blending, or to keep it messy. Full disclosure: I pulled my back again and it is … Continue reading Working out an Inspiration – T’Hed Five

See T'Hed Two for earlier explorations... I wanted to play with colour a little more, but mainly I wanted to see what oil pastels might achieve. I apply several colours onto the paper then use a smudge stick to blend it. I'm not crazy for the results this time... maybe it's because I got more … Continue reading Working Out an Inspiration – T’Hed Three
Working Out an Inspiration – T’Hed Two
See T'Hed One for earlier steps... This second sketch started with gauche on watercolour paper. I added medium charcoal as an outline and texture. The gouache I have are all primary colours and I mix them right on the pigment pucks. I paint wet on wet and let the pigments bleed as they want. It … Continue reading Working Out an Inspiration – T’Hed Two
