Course work: After picking things up and putting them down over a period of several days, I finally settled (at least provisionally) on five objects for the still-life: a large plaster hand, a small reproduction of the Willendorf Venus, a wooden apple, a magnifying glass, and a light-bulb, light by overhead light. I arranged these on a dark green cloth on a small stand, and did the first of the charcoal drawings, on approximately A4 paper, using as close to four tones as I could. I will try a paper with a little more tooth for the next drawing, as the paper I used today was unsatisfactory.
Reading and theoretical studies: Looked a little further into Fauvism and the Kitchen Sink Painters, today paying particular attention to Derain, and to Middleditch. The latter’s water paintings are quite pleasing, and could provide a stimulus for future work.
Time today: I hour 26 minutes
