Summer Intentions influences and inspirations

Over the summer we were given the take to create a sketchbook on influences and inspirations.When I initially got the brief I felt slighty overwhelmed about having to do a sketchbook with no clear instruction on what to write about. I created a sketchbook I jotted down things that were around me and so this sketchbook is mainly about the environment that surrounded me at the time. I went to turkey and spain in the summer and so alot of my drawings are from the surfaces and textures that were around me. This project further confirmed the my handprint as an artist and how I draw with mark making and illustratively

 

I started to look at practtioners that influenced me and came across Mathew Harris for his use of layering and similar colour scheme I am also interesteed by the composition of hes pieces this mark making is something I enjoy and would like to experiment more with printing onto materials and layering if this fits in with the project after summer 

This summer project forced me to confront drawing when I felt aprehensive, I some time on thi sketchbook due to being overwhelmed and scare to start it so ide just put it off therefor I plan to find a process that will be able to get me into a project or piece of work when I am feeling this way again in the future
