Recently the Foundation class visited The Harley Gallery in Welbeck. In small groups we looked round studios, work spaces and exhibits, speaking to a lot of people acquiring information about their methods and what their certain speciality entails. Also speaking about the career path each area can take you down and the benefits and downfalls of the specific trade. I found it really interesting and enjoyable talking to a sculptor, whom in his career worked with actors and musicians as big as Mel Gibson creating props for "Braveheart", props for a Brian Adams music video and he created the head for Kryten on "Red Dwarf". The images below are only a couple of the many things i found interesting to look at whilst in and around the gallery.
I took a picture of this simply because it's so strange and i think it's a very shocking image.
I Love this piece! The method used is so simple to create this effect, just simple scribbles at different intensities covering more paper with ink or leaving more white space, to create different shades like darkening toward the edges like shown below.
This is a close up of the above piece showing how it is just scribbles with a ordinary biro.
I think this piece is fantastic, it seems effortless like s quick scribble but its yet very lifelike and at a further distance looks more and more realistic and it's only at a close range you realise it's yet again scribbles used to shade areas and create depth to the art and i love that about it. My favourite aspect of this piece is that there is a really good contrast which i believe brings life to what could easily have become a ordinary drawing.
I very much intend to incorporate these techniques into my own work and play about with the effects i can produce and see how much realism i can create without the use of blending graphite or charcoal, but with compact and scattered scribbles using a ordinary biro.
