Jy is presies waar jy moet wees





Die idee is Morley s'n.  Hy's 'n straatkunstenaar van Amerika.  Ek het so baie gehou daarvan ek het gedink dis woorde wat ek naby my moet hĂȘ.  Toe maak ek my eie weergawe daarvan.  Dis 'n positiewe herinnering op die dae wat jy sukkel om te voel dat jy behoort.

Stylisation: Cubism



I wanted to find a way to teach practical stylisation techniques using an existing design style or art movement.  The natural object is drawn from life (& direct observation).  The drawing is then used as the basis for the final sketch.  It is cut up & 'fragmented' to mimic the multiple visage points of cubism works.  Colour is added to bind the various 'fragments' together again into a coherent design.  The sketch came out a lot more yellow than anticipated, but I think the stylisation is quite successful.  The medium is a combination of watercolour washes with coloured pencil.
