I'm trying to order my sketch book... the return to college looms and now I am trying to annotate and make my summer sketch books presentable... this is where the 'slam it in RubyStarrs' signature style really needs to be honed...

Its difficult to get the precise amount of 'slammin' and order right, so the end product doesn't look too much like a disordered mess and more of a interesting engaging original. I do see these sketch books as a piece of art and they need to be pleasing to my eye at the very least! the last one I compiled to support my circles project never quite worked and I suppose its like all art work sometimes it just doesn't gel, doesn't quite hit the right note and consequently isn't quite right!!

Through the summer I have been drawing and collaging, sewing and embroidering as the whim takes me and it is very tempting to try and make this fit the summer brief - some of it does and that easy to slot in but most of it is a little off key but non the less has influenced my work... I'm usually working / sketching in situ or from photographs taken this summer on my travels around the UK and southern Ireland. These are landscapes, museum artifacts, nature, personal belongings - mine and other peoples... I've used them to experiment with drawing techniques leading to mixed media applications and the results are very mixed, not just in ability but also in style and subject - at the very least I'll have plenty to work with.

Ayup lass :) so here I am adding a comment... hopefully you will receive it. As discussed, there are no advertising panels or links appearing on your pages - all just 100% Ruby Starrs, and wonderful for it!!! :) xx
ReplyDeleteAnnotation????? I haven't included any in mine so will now go and scribble loads of notes (or maybe I'll just do my own thing as discussed yesterday and not bother!!!). Looking forward to seeing the whole thing next week.
