Rubbings done at Witley Court

During this visit to Witley Court I concentrated on taking rubbings of the stone work, patterns, floor tiles etc. I plan to experiment with these in my work as these will bring an actual element of the ruin to the drawings. The above are just two of the many rubbings I took.

Initial Witley Court Drawings

These are my first initial drawings for my Final Major Project. After a tutorial I am going to try to make my frawings less detailed and more free. After all the drawings are supposed to be about Witley Court not of it.

Final Major Project =]

The Final Major Project is finally upon us at Hereford College of Arts.
After a very positive meeting today I'm feeling very excited about getting started :)

My propsal for the project is as follows:

The aim of this project is to produce a completed history/imformation book surrounding the subject of Witley Court in Worcestershire. The book will be similar to the structure of the Spiderwick Chronicles source book, for example stidies will be made of the lants that grow in the grounds, details of the architecture will be drawn upon.
This will inculde in depth research into the history of the estate and the surroundings, e.g owners of the house, events. I plan to use a variety of media within the project including etching.

So thats a outline of my proposal and I cant wait to get started :)

Below is a photo taken by myself of the burnt out ruined mansion which for me holds so much beauty.

A very Amazing Artist =]

I have been following the work of Zindy Zone for quite some time and I just had to put her on my blog as everytime I see a piece of her I am amazed.

Her works varies from protraits to fantasy work.

She is a very big imspiration to me and an awe insiring artist.
