Undergrowth is an installation drawing made in ink and tea during the Leytonstone Arts Trail in 2011. The drawing consists of floral forms influenced by the plants surrounding the house which stretch along one side of the wall in the house. From the front door along the hallway, up the stairs and reaching up to the ceiling, the floral forms are a mixture of real and imaginary flowers. Amongst the flowers are a number of bees drawn which flow in an arc until they reach the hiv

Yesterday I took 5 new pieces down to Inkd gallery and talked about some of the new work.  It was good to air the new pieces as there was a slight change in direction and the work was starting to focus solely on floral forms.  I have recently received good feedback from some purely floral works, poppy and undergrowth especially, and I think it is this that has given me the impotus to move into this project without any portrtraiture or human elements both with more confidence

Experimenting with masked out shapes and bird forms. I have included the sketch and mid point work on this piece to give an idea of development.

Work in progress a new larger scale piece of work, whereby I am returning to concentrate on the underlying drawing in the piece.  This is the largest piece I have worked on, being 1.2 metres square and is a stepping stone to a planned 1.5m metre square piece to see how the inked foliage combines in scale within the image…  more pictures to follow as the piece progresses. #line #flower #Sketches #Drawing #ink #floral #drawings #inkdgallery #nature #Eyestorm #Leaves

Decided not to work too much into this, there was enough rose leaf and enough suggestion of the overall form to leave the outer pencil marks to describe the shape.  Again this piece is drawn from a reference image and has marked a departure from the automatic process, the leaves and foliage are all drawn from memory / free although I have been making studies inbetween large pieces. This piece is worked in brown havana ink with blue waterman ink, tea and water on stretched boc

A new drawing on the go.. just wish I had more time to draw at the moment Acceptance - work in progress #Vorocchio #Leaf #Drawing #WIlliamMorris #drawings #Diplomatic #PenampInk #DaVinci #Leaves
