As a birthday present towards the end of last year Folders Arrangements drew this image for me with ink on card, he indicated it had been inspired from drawings I had done previously.
It was true that I felt a kindship with the drawing immediately. It was interesting to get back something that I felt I knew in some way, but from a different perspective. I knew fairly quickly that I would add colour to it. That it was of a part with things in this space which I’d previously taken into colour. The simplicity of the line work and in its surety, reduced a lot of the decisions and freed the spaces for more specific relationships with colour/s. It also meant that there was space for any additions that felt necessary.
I used a variety of colouring elements, coloured pencils, graphic pens, oil pastels and acrylic paint. The surface of the card was very glossy and occasonally required painting on to get to a workable contact between the surface and the colours.
Apologies for arguable photo quality of these stages, did not originally think to post.
This will probably end up being part of artwork for an album we are working on.
