Playing With Drawings #5

Strangeness.

I’m playing around with Adobe Photoshop and some of the charcoal drawings I did back in the early days of lockdown in 2020, when we just had an hour a day out of our houses. Back then, the drawings looked quite grim to me, in stark black and white on heavy textured Khadi paper, which gave them a jagged look. Now after a couple of years and a return to – almost – normality, I’m enjoying combining them with colour, they feel different and there’s a strangeness to this tree with the colours added.

Here’s the original, from Cwmdonkin Park, which was part of the regular route that Husb and I walked.

I'm an artist / printmaker / scribbler. I love drawing and all the geeky stuff associated with printmaking, working in a figurative style. I live in Wales with husband and demented cats. And my real name is Rose Davies :D

  1. It’s interesting that I ‘read’ the coloured version of this as two seperate images rather than a double spread, which was obvious in the original. Which prompts me to ask if you have you played around with the rotation and pattern making options in photshop as well?
