Posted @withregram • @sue.side_artist Almost there. Those knotty twigs are taking a wee while to build up!
The grey winter light today is casting a completely new look on the painting too. I love how ink responds in this way.
Happy weekend!

Posted @withregram • @svetlana.cameron 🇬🇧 HOW DO I CREATE SKIN TONES WITH SANGUINE without making them look orange? I receive this question very often.
⠀
Yes, sanguine looks quite orange in pure form, but you can create many subtle flesh tone effects with it. Having used it for the last 15 years, I have developed many techniques.
⠀
Here is one of my drawings as an example. Swipe to see how the same sanguine pencil can be used:
⠀
▪️Mixed with white on the light side
⠀
▪️Spread very thinly in a translucent layer in halftones
⠀
▪️Almost unmodified (inside the ear, for example)
⠀
▪️Mixed with charcoal in hair and deep cast shadows
⠀
Have you ever used sanguine in your drawings? Were you happy with the experience?
⠀
Stay tuned if you are interested in learning how to use this medium. I am preparing more posts and tutorials on this topic.

🇷🇺 “Как избавиться от рыжины при работе с сангиной?” Этот вопрос в разных формулировках регулярно появляется в моем директе.
⠀
Cангина - рыжий пигмент, от этого не избавиться, но ee оттенками и насыщенностью можно управлять.
⠀
За 15 лет использования я хорошо изучила свойства сангины и придумала много способов обращения с ней.

Используя один и тот же карандаш или мелок в рамках моей трехцветной палитры, я могу получать разнообразные оттенки кожи и волос. Показываю на примере моего рисунка - листайте карусель!
⠀
▪️В смеси с белым на светлой стороне лица⠀
▪️Нанесенная тонким прозрачным слоем в полутонах⠀
▪️В чистом виде, растушеванная (например, в области уха)⠀
▪️В смеси с углем в волосах и глубоких тенях
⠀
В моем будущем онлайн курсе будет целый блок, посвященный этому материалу и способам работы с ограниченной трехцветной палитрой.
⠀
А вы пробовали рисовать сангиной? Как впечатление? Какие возникли трудности?

Posted @withregram • @sumi_perera THE ARCHITECTURAL UNCANNY, a peek preview before it opens to the public this week at the Festival of Print at the Arts Pavilion at Mile End at the East London Printmakers exhibition 26Nov-5Dec.

A hybrid print artist book installation with incision, paper manipulation, layering and embossing.  Inspired by a series of essays written by Anthony Vidler [1992 MIT Press].  Also triggered by reading an article written by Julia C Olbert: The Architectural Uncanny. An Essay in the Postcolonial Unhomely, in the International Journal of Postcolonial Studies. [2015] 
At a time when the reality of homelessness is so far removed from the idealism of the neo-avantgarde desired by ‘starchitects’, Vidler interprets contemporary buildings & projects through the notions of the uncanny or the ‘unhomely’ existence.

He interprets the unsettling qualities of today's architecture—its fragmented neo-constructivist forms, through principles postulated by Freud.

Obert’s essay argues that (post)colonial cities are often studies in what Anthony Vidler calls the ‘architectural uncanny’. Imperial powers use mapping, building and urban design projects literally to shift the ground beneath natives' feet – a strategy that makes familiar ground seem uncannily foreign.

Her essay examines the ways in which architectural space enables structures of both subjection and subversion.
These subterranean navigational tactics allow natives to re-route and re-root, at least in part, in their uncanny city.  
My work considers
-The social fabric… -The fabric of the building…. -the nature of the 2 dimensional, the 3 dimensional, & the 2.5 dimensional.
