Experimental drawing with stitches
Drawing fluidly in stitches and letting two hands steer the thread. Like thought. Able to layer, revisit, strengthen, fade, wander..
Just line.

Drawing research network
Such an interesting network that validates marks and spaces, should one need that validation. I can relate to intelligent line, residual traces, signifiers of vacancy, a series of moments, the sense of an event in a drawing.
It's about a drawing language that begins to map out the intangible as it is seen through time, movement, event or interaction.
The difficulty for me is taking a photo of my work as so far my drawings are ethereal in quality.

Evaluation of final assignment: Atmosphere
As I was in Italy with space, views and climate to paint, I decided not to paint an indistinct figure or view clouded with atmospheric paintwork but rather a painting with an atmosphere of the imaginative, possibly mysterious.
I was luck enough to stay as a guest at a castle with spectacular views across to a hilltop village. In the evenings, the staff would chase away the wild boars from beneath the garden walls so there were lots of possibilities.
I know that there is a huge difference between painting from drawings and sketches that open up possibilities and pathways but I wanted to try out a narrative painting that drew one into the painting. After all the assignment is Expressionism!
I also wanted to paint using dark tones counterpointed with the warm hues of the stones. Seems to work.
The sky part is not quite completed. Composition is fairly balanced and seems to work from all angles because of the blue brown colour intensity I think.
