Initially I felt I wasn’t able to find suitable items to draw to relate to my chosen area for this unit as I had chosen Mechanical Components but decided to look at metal artefacts and started to draw Roman Brooches , I carried out a series of timed drawings .

I felt this was not working so decided to look at metal furniture around the castle and started to take rubbings from floor grills, hinges etc.

By combining rubbings I was able to create some very interesting outcomes.

Whilst looking around the Castle I came across the covered well , I felt this was very interesting and wanted to try drawing it .

My first drawing of the well

On discussion with my tutor I realised I had drawn what I thought I saw rather than what was really there..

Second attempt

This worked much better, it shows the depth of the well.

Learning to take forward

Draw what I REALY see rather than what I think I see

Develop drawings by working into them rather than creating an image leaving it and moving on to the next one.
