It is 12.15 on Sunday 13th October 2019 and I eagerly await the outcome of a maintenance loan application for a Drawing Degree with OCA. The fee loan is already in place so I have applied to the college and my start date should hopefully be tomorrow. In the meantime I have been busy. The following is an example of what I’ve been up to.
This is a study of ”Gloria”, a maquette I discovered at a car boot sale last year and purchased for a fiver. I used wax resist with cheap children’s crayons, watercolour paint, willow charcoal and blue pastel. The plinth she is sitting on is not carefully executed and her breast needs more shading, but otherwise I enjoyed using wax resist having been inspired by a visit to Perry Green near Much Hadham in Hertfordshire and seeing Henry Moore’s drawing exhibition there.
