Sketchbook

The first part of the lesson was to take photo`s of shapes round square & triangular,circles were by far the easiest

Here we had to take part of the photo trace it off and stylise it, the picture of the bridge I put into paintshop before printing it out onto fabric treated with Bubblejet set, i am going to embroider into it






Designs produced from one picture and a photo.









We were asked to take a photo trace off a section and then enlarge it to touch 3 edges of a triangle, this really worked for me I love the ammonites, they were stamped from a lino cut i had made onto fabric.

This was from a photo where I had taken one shape and played with it, it looks to me like patchwork clam shells

Lovely post, Pippa, your sketch book ideas are superb, especially the amonite collection. I think we must be very in tune as I created 2 print designs using similar imagery to your Chinese lady and Roman emperor when I was at college, they made me want to return to my painting for a moment there, comfort zone stuff compared to what I'm doing now :-)
