Day 13 - Round Fat Leaves


So excited about starting to draw the actual body of the plate and deconstructing the images that make up this iconic motif.
Am going to visit the V&A this afternoon to look at their Willow Pattern collection. Also NOW KNOW this is it - the new project
I have been searching for. It produces the three vital ingredients I need to arrive at the studio feeling motivated: intellectual interest, an aesthetic and infinite drawing possibilities. It is also something that can be undone .... and redone, and undone all over again.
The dog-like shadow in the picture is me - when I take pictures before 2pm the window casts a shadow across the drawing !
