1) Where are you drawing?
Guildford Castle
Why have you chosen to draw there?
It's a beautiful castle and I've heard the gardens are really interesting and Alice in Wonderland themed.
What are you expecting to see, what is of interest to you?
A really old castle, lots of trees- not many flowers because it's winter.. Alice in Wonderland statues.
What do you think you are going to draw whilst there, (a vista that can be zoomed into with a camera, an interior scene, stairs, lifts???)
Maybe a view of the castle, a view from the top of the castle.. some drawings of the gardens and statues.
How are you going to draw? (Are you going to do a series of short observational drawings, make notes about the sights, sounds smells, conversations, actions, movements and interactions of people, take photographs and refer to them later?)
Relatively quick sketches most of the time because it's outside and cold.. however I will take some pictures to work back into later.
What media are you going to use?
Mostly pen and pencils as I don't want to drag loads of different paints etc to the castle.. also it's cold and I don't want to have to wait for paint to dry..
What about light, shadow, colour, texture, shape, composition, perspective.? How can these be used as storytelling devices.
Shadow can be used to make a space seem more ominous..
Are there famous/infamous stories about the spaces that you already know?
From the top of the castle, you can see the cathedral where part of the Omen was filmed...
2) Where are you drawing?
On the train/ coach between Leeds and London.
Why have you chosen to draw there?
Because I'm going to be sat on the coach/ train for nearly 6 hours down to London and back again so I'll have plenty of time to draw.
What are you expecting to see, what is of interest to you?
People, commuters...
What do you think you are going to draw whilst there, (a vista that can be zoomed into with a camera, an interior scene, stairs, lifts???)
Interior scene of the train and coach (and outdoors at the station). Maybe the view out of the window..
How are you going to draw? (Are you going to do a series of short observational drawings, make notes about the sights, sounds smells, conversations, actions, movements and interactions of people, take photographs and refer to them later?)
Relatively lengthy observational drawings.. I have a lot of time to draw..
What media are you going to use?
Pen and pencil.
3) Where are you drawing?
Somewhere in Leeds. Just out in the city.
Why have you chosen to draw there?
I don't know Leeds that well yet so it would be a good chance to explore. Also it's a very different environment to my other two as it's a city instead of in the countryside or travelling
What are you expecting to see, what is of interest to you?
Buildings, busy city people, shoppers..
What do you think you are going to draw whilst there, (a vista that can be zoomed into with a camera, an interior scene, stairs, lifts???)
City life.. outdoor scenes.
How are you going to draw? (Are you going to do a series of short observational drawings, make notes about the sights, sounds smells, conversations, actions, movements and interactions of people, take photographs and refer to them later?)
Very short observational drawings- it's going to be busy so I don't want to get in the way of people.
What media are you going to use?
Pens and pencils, maybe paints.. watercolour maybe..
Are there famous/infamous stories about the spaces that you already know?
Not yet..
