Bradford!

Yesterday was a LONG day! But totally worth it! I got to see some beautiful mosques. I couldn't believe the sheer size of some of them, it was a very lovely surprise to be so impressed! This was a beautiful doorway from the first one I visited...

 
Can't wait to get drawing from my photos!

Plessey Woods

It's Interim week this week at uni so I am trying to use my time wisely! Yesterday I had a trip out to Plessey Woods, a country park in Northumberland to gather some primary research. It was sooo muddy! And it got dark quite quick ; this ended with me slipping EVERYWHERE! So I am planning on going back again. You see everything differently every time you visit anyways I suppose!
 


The shape of the landscape was intriguing, my FMP has an important element of shapes working alongside each other, I can get these shapes from literally anywhere from my pictures and in turn drawings. I am not only drawing florals and foliage but I am drawing absolutely anything I may come across in my searches for primary research for instance these lovely worn in bridges and signs, so natural! I am so happy I spotted that vine wrapped around the tree trunk with ivory growing on it, it's beautiful!
 
I'm off to Bradford tomorrow to visit some Mosques. Wish me luck!

Final Major Project

I cannot believe how fast my FMP has come round!! Going to make it the best project ever, so please remember all constructive criticism or guidance is super welcome. I have spent today drawing of course and want to get this roll full if not another one by the end of this project...


I have felt really positive and productive the last few days, lets hope it lasts! Promise I'll get some pictures of my mood board and colour boards up; they need to be made more exciting I think!

Until next time, Lucy xxx
