Looking into the henhouse….

Posted on 1 February 2016 by sgolding

A friend has chooks so I drew them in the henhouse, scratching at the dirt..over the summer holidays.

I started with a pencil sketch then added brushstrokes in watercolour to define the forms and the textures.

The Corkscrew, Adelaide Hills

Posted on 18 January 2016 by sgolding

Some years ago (around 2005)  when living in Adelaide and riding  in the Adelaide Hills,  I was taken with the view across to the Corkscrew and set up and did a drawing there.  It is a layered landscape image, with lots of diffenrt media, trying to capture the sens of the vertical and the convoluted turning of the road in the hillscape.  Texture and colour use became very important and evocative.

The watercolour of Five Figs in my exhibition was sought after.  I had in 2006 done a small ink on canvas from it, in a4 landscape format.

Images from an exhibition

I really should have Mussorgski playing “pictures from an Exhibition” in the background of this video of my exhibition to get a feel of the hang:
