This exercise intends to represent how the landscape view changes by just shifting my viewpoint.
I worked on the small football field. It was around 2 pm and 3 C degrees) but sunny. My tack was to accomplish 15 minutes drawings on each direction – north, south, west and east.
First sketch is a North:
Then West:
South:
And East:
After a long break again forms are not sharp. After following all fellow students in OCA and checking their works – I want to ask professors and my Tutor isn’t it boring to see day after day the same… This thought now is a dominated one and I want to focus more on “something special” – composition, colour, method… something that can make my work interesting and different from the rest.
Unfortunately, I’m not happy with this exercise… Kind of boring… No new solutions. What I could make different?
Perhaps to use the iPad for drawing?
Or work a bit on a computer to adapt the image?
Or use my new "discovery" with the screws and nails?
Or to use Monotyping from the 17th century?
Once in Sao Paulo with similar research, I pushed further the Monotyping and developed my own way of depicting nature.
Out of the experiment reasons, I mixed the varnish with acrylic on the glass surface with an image which I saw in nature – light, tree, house… and applied a paper on this substance. The result was not always amazing but some pieces were excellent.
After while I shifted the surfaces – a paper lays and the pattern was on the plastic material with which I touched this paper. So I started to repeat those images:
Probably professors would say that I’m not allowed to use methods or developments which I used before this educational program… but I’m going to answer – it was my own development; I still see the potential in it; I believe that the result of this method is better than the oil pastel drawings; so I would like to integrate this into my current project in a future.
I’m going to integrate all of these ideas.
