Dotted Drawings.

 I`ve been trying to get a bit of my own work done, in my own little style of art. kind of like a break from all of the repetitive stuff I have to do at sixth form and all of the print making that I`m starting to give up with.

I`m slowly getting there at the moment, out of everyone in the class Laura and me are most probably the furthest ahead, which is making me feel a lot less motivated when it comes to producing my project work. So now I`m working on these tiny, tiny little dotted drawings that take hours and hours to finish. 

The first three images are ones that I did whilst in Northumberland on holiday; when it was too cold or just a bit muggy outside I would sit and dot away at these little flower drawings, which annoyed everyone if we where sat in the camper before bed and it`s quite... all you could here was me dotting away in my book. 

I`m starting to work on adding more layers to the drawings so it looks more shaded. The first image only consists of two layers, the pink flower and the red flower underneath have one layer each and the very last images had to be the hardest one to pull together.
There are three layers, two shades of purple and then black, Grey and black and then two shades of green and a layer of black over the top. Then I had to marble and varnish the frame which has taken me about 3 or 4 days to finish off. Unfortunately you cannot see all of the detail in the frame which is frustrating since I worked on it for a while, It`s been done as a present for my step mum who loves my art work. 

It is my first time marbling a frame though and then having to use varnish all over it, was annoying cause every little thing was taking so bloody long to dry out. I`m hoping the others can also go in some small frames too, but then I don`t know what I would do with them. I could always try to sell them but then again postage could cost quite a bit and then I would have to charge for the frames and the pens I use for the drawings... The pens I use for the drawings actually cost me £25 a pack. So when I run out of one color I have to go and buy another pack straight away. Which is quite frustrating, so if it does come to selling some kind of my work in frames, I don`t want to be charging to much for it all because then no one would buy them. It`s going to be hard if I decide to get rid of a few pieces because of budgeting and then pricing them. 

But if anyone is actually interested in work like this and in this dotted style; then let me know! If people say that they like the dotted style then i`ll carry on with it and try out some more different pictures (rather than just flowers all of the time).
