plan chests, old and new work - pastels still life and charcoal drawing of hands
drawing hands in charcoal - over life size, A1 paper - also featuring my lovely plan chest!
This shows part of my plan chest - the large sheet of paper - A1 - is lost in the large shallow drawers, they take huge A0 sheets :>) A1 is the size of 8 sheets of typing paper side by side.
One of the fun things of starting to load work into the plan chest was in unrolling old drawings and finding stuff from the degree and pre-degree - not seen in years! This one was a uni challenge to draw our hands - here revealed are my horrible chubby paws :>o - We had to draw our left hand with our right and vice versa. Any guesses as to whether I'm right or left handed?
Feathers and seedpods, mostly pencil but the large ?protea seedhead is in charcoal pencil

and thanks :)
and thank you Laura :>)
maybe another exchange at a later date? I'd love to have a book with your work in :>)
These are a lovely trip through your artistic history. The chair one is whimsical and the colors are rich.
Love the hands.
Cheers
These hands look great, both sides. And that chair - the colours are fabulous.
I'll have to wrap my mind around a sketchbook swap I believe. It sounds unique and would be a wonderful piece to remember in years to come.
it is big enough to need a name! I'll have to think of one! and integrating it into the studio space means it eats a lot of space up! but well worth it.
Do Jeanette - it's been such fun exchanging and chatting with such lovely people in the groups I'm in - and I get my book back full of lovely work at the end :>)
don't throw away those old drawings - you'll regret it. I loved coming across mine again, even the disasters!
