Drawings

This section is divided into Analytical Drawings made from direct observation, and Preparatory Drawings made in the studio.

First shown are the the analytical pencil on paper drawings. These are self contained studies, meaning they were not done with any future paintings in mind. I was interested in trying to draw the 'act of seeing', and showing how things seem to distort as we look at them and move. Click Here for Black and White Giclée Prints of Further Drawings.

    Preparatory Drawings
	
	The mixed media preparatory drawings below are still based on observational sketches and notes, but were intended to plan the shape and size of canvases and compositions. The different properties of the materials and a more 'free' approach were used to to express movement, light and drama.
