The Elegance of Line Drawing Exhibition

Just in case anyone is planning a trip to Conwy next weekend (or over the next month or so), the Private View of The Elegance of Line, an exhibition of drawings is on Saturday 19th, 2 - 5pm.

It should be a really interesting exhibition ... I'm helping with the hanging next week, so I'll try and take some photos of the work as it goes up on the walls.

My fave for line drawing is Matisse. The way he managed to catch stuff (form, beauty, character) in so few lines still astonishes me.

Yep, his brevity of line is amazing. When (very rarely!) it happens to me in life drawing and one continuous line suggests the whole figure/gesture, it's a fantastic feeling. Big dollop of luck but nice when it happens.

I'm really taken with Bridget farmer's birds ....


How about that for simplicity of line?

and her scribbly crows ...


and ...
Kyffin Williams' sheepdogs (verging on a cartoons)

I was just looking at Bridget's Blog (and Etsy shop ...danger zone).

Some really interesting descriptions of her print processes on the blog.

It's quite a haul to make it for the PV but you'd be very welcome.

I'm going to try and post some photos of the hanging as it goes up next week.
