I have drawn three different trees in three different medias.
I have used pencil, charcoal and ink to capture different characteristics of the trees (the trees were not completely bare of leaves I just find the branches much more interesting).
Pencil shows the complexity of the branches,
Charcoal emphasises the texture of the bark
and using ink was a fantastic way to capture how the tree has grown due to the wind.
Finally got round to photographing these bottles I filled with words for my last project based on dyslexia.
Today I have been playing with paper. I’ve been making little paper sculptures based on the shapes within the electricity pylons and the structures I saw at Port Talbot steel works. I have also been influenced by my mother’s ceramics – Julie Brunskill.
These are just rough pieces – they look a lot more interesting in these photos than they actually are – but hopefully I will be doing more with the designs over the next week or two.
