Have always been a Blue Peter girl at heart so the colouring pencils are out and I'm scribbling down ideas for the set. It's a damm good job that panto sets are aimed at kids who aren't too critical.
Why is it that it's possible to 'see' in your mind what you want to draw on paper but it doesn't come out of the end of the pencil onto the paper looking the same? Also, why is it that buying a brand new sketch pad doesn't make you any better an artist but does make you FEEL better about your feeble efforts.
There's a saying that 'Every picture is worth a thousand words'. My pictures are worth just 5 words. They say " You can't draw for toffee! "
A mate at work has been lured into helping come up with ideas for scenes as he collects postcards from art galleries. Yesterday lunch was spent working on the London street scene, photocopying an image and simplifying it (lots) so that it can be replicated on the hardback and painted.
