‘Below Sail Garbh – work in progress’
‘Below Sail Garbh – work in progress’, Oil stick and pastel, 80 x 80 cm
When I first moved into my studio at the Courtyard in Irvine in 2004, I decided that whenever I was in the studio anyone could come in and see what I was working on. I think it is good that people can see not just the ‘finished work’….the good stuff, but also the work that so often has to be done to get there. I think my website and Face Book page should also be a little like this too.
This week the image is of a drawing I’ve been working on recently based on some of the sketches I did back in May when we were staying on holiday in Assynt. The original version …done just in very loose oil stick didn’t really work that well (see on FB) and so I started working back into it with oil pastel. This is the stage it is here …and I’m not too sure about it either …oh well, it’s just part of the process I guess. I’ve been thoroughly enjoying working on it though, which is the most important part.
