I was teaching this afternoon, demonstrating different types of black drawing materials. I killed two birds with one stone as I also wanted to enter the Rhys Ifans Portrait exhibition coming up at GS Artists in Swansea. I did this fairly quick sketch, about 30 minutes, with four media – pencil (4B), willow charcoal (thin), graphite block (6B) and a conté crayon. Of course, I can see all the things that are wrong with it, but too late now.
GS Artists is having an open afternoon on December 17th, it’s free to come along and there will be art and cake.
