I didn’t post a progress post last week because to be honest I mostly just experimented with the new materials I got (the durlar and then paint pens) and looked for reference photos. This week I worked a lot more on trying to compile a composition I like. It seems like it should be the easiest part, but I really want to be precise with the composition because I don’t think actually drawing out the forms and lining them with the paint pens will be difficult (I say that now). I looked through my travel photos as I always do before an art project and once again looked at architecture I saw in Italy- I really just can’t leave that place behind it seems like so much of my work is based on buildings I saw there. But anyways, I’ve been isolating buildings from several pictures and drawing them in what I call the “bare bones style” to get a better handle on the types of buildings I want to draw and to make a collection of shapes that I can then assemble together like a puzzle to create something with some kind of composition. I tried just trying to simplify a single reference photo, but I didn’t think it had enough dimension to it.
