 Reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve researched many illustrations of hand drawn maps by Grayson Perry,  Qiu Zhijie, Roberta Faulhaber\u2019s \u201cart-mapping\u201d to work out the composition of my \u201cmap\u201d. I\u2019ve also practiced some mindful sketching, sketched some rough ideas, practised my yoga and meditated and reflected some more. I have some chalk pastels which I\u2019ve been experimenting various effects with, mark making and exploring  colour palettes whilst listening to some chilled jazz muzak. I really need to stop procrastinating, I can\u2019t use all the colours and all the ideas. I need to be selective!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night I watched the final episode on tv about the artist Ophelia Redpath on Sky Arts “Landscape Artist of the Year 2021”.  She was sketching the landscape in Dinas Oleu, Snowdonia. I really empathised with her as she told the cameras she felt completely overwhelmed by the sensory overload of details and how she wanted to capture it all, not to leave anything out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
