Observational drawings of textile installment

In todays session we were asked to make some observational drawings of our instalment, using a range of dry medias such as; oil pastel, biro, pencil, charcoal, felt-tips, crayons etc.

Firstly I started by churning out a mass of quick timed drawings, looking at the whole instalment apportioning myself time limits from 30 seconds to 7 minutes.

Producing very sketchy abstract representations, which in my opinion set the tone, to make detailed and experimental mixed media pieces.

Therefore I went on to looking a sections of the instalment, that had interesting colour use or complex composition to try and capture the tone of the yarn bomb.

I completed 23 individual observations using a range of techniques and materials such as; blind drawing, collage, wrong hand, line drawing,

colour studies(brsho).

 I again stuck to the colour pallet of the yarn bomb using analogous colours.

 I find fine liner is perfect media to use whilst making an observational drawing, being one of my preferred way to draw as it can capture minute details and emphasise lines and tones which is achieved in a quick manner capturing just the line.

But on the other hand I love bright and bold pieces of art with use of mixed media and a plethora of tones, colours, depth and shape.
