24 Hour Drawings

For the past few weeks I've been fascinated by how to capture this exercise in simplicity as a drawing exercise. Here's a few of my results.



My first uses Indian Ink, white acrylic ink, graphite and gouache. A light tonal study.



Sometimes paper assumes such architectural strength! As my tone increases so does the emotional stress of the drawing.









Finally I take a blank white sheet of paper into darkness. Next time I'd like to turn off the lights...

  1. What I notice about myself over the past few weeks is how this format gives me a chance to work monochromatically and how much a stylised grey is very much 'me'. I figure I'm Northern in temperament not Meditteranean and full coloured.
