easy easel

some cutting

Some glueing

Standing 2.2 metres high it aint so shabby

these were a little tricky, cut by hand they do the job

I was about 4mm out on the brace for the upright but I worked with it, also it has a slight wobble

So I finally got me own easel and I made it myself....it has a few little issues, but someone with a limited wood working skill range I think I did alright...

"Sad Joe"

Here we have a pic a drew up around 11 years in an A4 journal and now have coverted it onto linen 50x76.5 cm in diameter. I used charcoal and general house paint to prime it...."sad Joe" was probaby drawn during one of my many depressive periods, which has inspired a great portion of my art...  

Photos and Epic Fail on "Kurvy Kal"

primed linen with a light coat of blue aerosole paint

these were too black

....and fail

I ran out of aerosle whilst completing "Kurvy Kal", hence the large streaks of blue, I improvised with an old pump spray bottle with some paint and water mixed in and that gave a much more wanted effect. Unfortunately "Kurvy Kal" wont be lasting much longer and is set for re-priming

"F(L)AT WHITE" update and intro to "Curvy Kal"

So know I have the finished product of "F(L)AT WHITE) in photo format. Also are some shots of my new project "Curvy Kal"....a piece I started around the same time as "Red Bucket Black Sadness"...

So there you have it.....

"Red Bucket Black Sadness"

The title "Red bucket Black Sadness" came to me whilst completing this piece, I originally sketched it out approximately 10 years ago,with simple grey led pencil more than likely HB, today my drawings comprise of HB, graphite, 2B, 4B, F and H. So whilst working on it there was a bit of sitting around and visualizing the color and when it came to the black "tear drop" and the puddle/shadow around the bucket I had, what I call, a "fuck" moment, where I am at awe with what I see on the canvas as being exactly what I had in my head especially as the shadow/puddle was a on the spot thought bang there it is thing, than I just mimicked that around the tree, overall I am quite well pleased with this...

Revive

I have for a long time wanted to move some old drawings onto a canvas and know I have found the confidence in my skill to do so...hear is the start of the first of a few I have found....
