a week in art // 11-17nov24

monday 11th

felt a lot better 2day. had coffee and read my book a little. ive finished pt 2 of faust and now onto the urfaust section. was debating whether to read it, but its not very long 
changed my bedsheets finally and then went out for coffee to this place just round the corner. had chips also and sat outside a did some sketching. the drawings came out p nice i think.

was sat near some traffic lights so it was nice to have to speed draw these ones and then add the shading after:)

tues

bought dvds midi keyboard

life drawin

definitely enjoyed using pencil this time, wouldlike to use charcoal more but not really getting on with it, maybe if i used chalk too that might be fun. I wished we did more quick poses tho as the shortest ones are 5min which isnt long enough to do anything with much detail but also too long for banged out quick sketches. i think some 1min ones would be interesting just to loosen u up at the start...

friday

went on a long walk and took photos. was dark so had to do long exposures which i decided to just to either handheld or resting on a flat surface. since i was on my own in the dark didnt really want to lug a tripod about also need to find it n probably give it a dust as havent used it in a while. looking forward to seeing how the pics come out and i finished the roll so will try to develop them next weeeek.

work, crocheted

sunday

had a chill day as was tired from work so decided to just accept it and chill. watched a movie called the holdovers and some tv and crocheted some more of the blanket.

eval of week/ thoughts

been taking a more intentional break from the projects i have that need wrapping up which has been going ok, been playing my gameboy which has been fun. i think for a while i was Ignoring them as they need to sit a bit so i can have a think about them. will maybe try handwrite some stuff out to see if that helps at all. also need to priototise xmas gifts atm i think and get them out of the way.
