Like all New Year resolutions, we rarely stick to them for very long, so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself for completing my 50:50 project to do 50 new things in 2013. I enjoyed the discipline of writing a blog post each week and I'm certain that it made me more creative and spontaneous. The down-side was that many of the pieces were one-offs and didn't result in a more thorough work.
Inspired by a trip to the Musee d'Orsay last week and a chance to see up-close-and-personal the work of the great French Impressionists, I was moved to work on my technical drawing skills. I've invested in some lovely soft drawing pencils in shades of brown which seem so much less threatening than graphite. Here is a sketch of the wonderful station clock that presides over the Musee d'Orsay.
I'm also hoping to do some more detailed pieces over several weeks, resulting in a more considered body of work.
excellent...and such a good idea too
