30 Faces 30 Days
I’m taking an online class in portraiture during Coronavirus Lockdown.
It is a world away from my usual practice, but something I can do at the kitchen table while I help homeschool my 6 year old daughter.
My hope is I’ll learn new approaches to mark making that can feed back into my abstract work.
What is also interesting is the different way my brain works when making these observational drawings as opposed to making abstract work. These drawings are slow, meticulous and meditative. There is a question and answer process with a definite answer - does the mark I’m about to make correspond to a shape or shadow I’m trying to replicate?
This is very different to non-observational abstract work which is fast, physical and instinctive. There is no yes/no in abstraction. Only limitless possibilities.
