Here is the complete drawing on A2 heavy Bockingford paper using the oilbars, graphite stick and watercolour. I was working from my jar of beads that resembled a nest that was full of lush rich colour. I like to have something to work from that is real even though I do abstract away from it. I’m including a shot of the real jar of beads. The ‘shadow’ aspect came from a dream, or nightmare really, that I had a couple of weeks back invading the nest as it were. I made the first part of the drawing on Friday 13th Nov ’15 and knew the date was somehow significant even as I made the drawing. The oils bars were hard to control, but I like that. This was all before I heard about Paris. I even tweeted the drawing with the date in the tweet which I have never done before. Make of it what you will, I don’t like explaining too much, presient though in some ways… click images to enlarge for marks folks!
