BOOM! spoke to the 28-year-old artist who resides in London town. Hi Alice! BOOM! loves your pics – how much drawing, sketching and painting do you do in a 24-hour period? What’s a typical week like? Sketching is an integral part of the painting process. I spend on average seven to eight hours in the studio per day. At least two hours of that time will be spent sketching, in the conception, duration and completion of a painted canvas. My particular use of the sketching process is to produce rapid outlines as well as fully finished, detailed drawings which not only mark out the contours of the face and figure, but also serve as a process of analysis, to trace and capture what is revealed by my subject matter. When preparing for a new piece, I will spend whole days sketching in preparation. When painting, I lose track of time, and cannot be trusted to maintain a conversation or remember its contents for several hours afterwards! 'George, Fred and Harry'
Nando's is a good cure. Get at least a medium quarter chicken, with spicy rice, chips and medium piri-piri sauce and it will quite literally dynamite the snot outta your nose - to put it nicely.
ReplyDeleteFailing that, blackcurrant Lemsip.
Ginger (fresh not powdered) and lemon tea. Add honey to sweeten. Always works for me and very soothing.
ReplyDelete@Thomas - lol, will have to try that, ta
ReplyDelete@Forum - some days I love ginger, some days I don't. But for the sake of health, must learn to love it! Thanks.
