pencil, ink & colour from a library's garden

The work made this week feels a little like an end of year show.  Each piece sings out the personality and style of the person who made it and for me, each sums up how much has been learnt over the last few months.

We used A3 cartridge paper with pencil, ink and spot colour to depict elements of St Annes Library's garden.

The amazing results are below.  Well done everyone!

The inclusion of library books was inspirational.  I love everything about this; composition, colour, spontaneity... 

Debbie

Understated but very effective repeated use of particular elements of the garden.  Lovely!


Christine - demo page

One of us decided to focus on the building next door where I did my B Unit in Art:  the start of an incredible chapter in my life.  The inserted blue plaque shows the year I attended, '95 - '96.

The gentle mark making of this piece reminds me of an illustration in a children's book.  The narrative is open and invites the viewer to fill in the story.  Lovely!

Again, very well done everyone!
