annwfynIt's odd how little I look at things.
Today I've been working on my portfolio for the conservator's course - Camberwell want to see some sketches as 'evidence of mannual dexterity'. I've never been much of an artist, so it is incredibly hard work in some ways to produce anything. At first I just tried to draw and (unsurprisingly) produced complete and utter crap. Since then I've been sketching from pictures, from photos, from life, looking incredibly carefully at everything and have realised how very little I normally see, from the way a house is built to the way a pig fits together.
I feel like I'm opening my eyes for the first time.
It's actually quite incredible.
