We were invited to wander around the studio looking for inspiration and interesting areas to draw. I found Jill’s studio and spent some time trying to capture the atmosphere within the room, the interesting clutter, the depth to the building, a maze of rooms leading along dark corridors. Again we were encouraged to work with various materials and scale and change the length of time spent on a study from perhaps 1 minute to 5. These are all studies which could be further developed into other works such as a painting, collage or print. I used these works to prepare a printing plate which I will print soon.

Enjoying a family day out at Arthur’s Seat, my purpose of course to get some good photographs to draw or paint from. I love the changing colour, texture, shadows and form of the landscape; what inspiration.  The boys were just glad to get to the top without being blown over!
