DRAWING RIGHT ALONG

I've spent the last 2 days wading through my Boston photos and yesterday selected this scene on the border of the Italian North End. Half way through I realized I had drawn this same street scene about 2 years ago.


Boston Baked Beans...pen & ink and markers...2011


Boston Baked Beans...pencil, ink, watercolor...2009

And totally unrelated to Boston...the result of playing with a clay print, cold wax, and markers:


Tuscany on a clay mono type...2011

TWO CLAY DRAWINGS

are all I have to offer today. I started a new watercolor and should have something to show in the next day or two.

I'm enjoying experimenting with different supports for the clay prints. I go to Hancocks (our local, very large, fabric store)and rummage through their selection of interfacing looking for interesting textures and weights. In the first of these clay drawings the printing was done on a heavier fabric with a somewhat shiny or sparkling surface which unfortunately does not show in the photo.


Midieval Bologna...clay drawing...8x11

This piece was done on a thinner paper-like interfacing which is a pleasure to draw on


Clay drawing...approximately 14x11

HARD WORK...but somebody has to do it!

first effort 10x17

Yesterday I had the idea of combining two of the fun things I do in the studio...quick sketching and clay prints.


Second effort 10x24
