I visited Gateshead earlier this week for a couple of days and did a bit of scribbling from the bank of the River Tyne. Here’s the Millenium Bridge with the skyline of Newcastle behind it. I’ve been reading Volume 2 of Hockney, The Biography by Simon Sykes and really got into the section about his experiments with Cubism. He points out that as the eye moves across the subject, the act of drawing focuses on each thing in turn, bringing it into prominence and that’s what Cubism tries to capture. As I did a continuous line sketch, I noticed that different areas loomed larger as I drew them so I went with it. Interesting, I might try doing this in a bit more of a structured way.
