Me… watching paint drying Sketchbook quietly waiting for some attention. It was buried under a pile of gessoed old books, somehow slightly neglected. So after a good tidy it’s good to get into it, revisit and extend ideas… or just scribble the aimless lines and marks. Comforting details, some dust and just a line. Work is in progress Current palette Quietly and carefully preparing more surfaces. Moving into old book jackets as a substrate for smaller paintings and, at the same time, introduce a different format so to break away from my usual square shaped pieces. finding comforting corners and pensive backdrops, places and spaces with a story to tell. Give me cracked walls, dusty windows and musty smells. layers of paint, crumbly lines… just pure inspo #themarkswemake #markmakingdaily #contemporarydrawing #gesturaldrawing #linedrawing Making use of small fragments of time around daily life. The drawings on paper collection keeps on growing and there’s no desire in stopping it. Drawing and sketching becomes almost a daily exercise: a repetition of gestures, marks… There is a comforting cadence and a rhythm to it. Like a habit, an old bad habit!
