I think I am a very slow worker when it comes to producing works of art. Yes I can rattle off quick drawings but when I try and really capture a likeness I find myself slowing right down and agonising over every detail. This realisation came to me at my last art class. I have already mentioned that I am really not enjoying painting at the moment and so I decided when the rest of the class was painting I would draw. This is the result of almost 90 minutes of work. The rest of the class produced passable, and in some cases very passable works, I was able to produce something that was really only the bare bones of a drawing. Now is this a problem? Well no of course it is not but it is important that when you are working you must know how best to approach things – for me it is not to rush things, just take my time and what will be will be.
