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'
It's looking very embarrassing for the US. Although I am a big supporter of freedom of information, I do think there are some things we shouldn't know. It won't stop me from reading it though...
ReplyDeleteDo you think it's really damaging - or just slightly cringeworthy?
ReplyDeleteWhat I've seen so far seems to be more cringeworthy than damaging, but who knows what will come out next? You know how the papers like to drag out a story!
ReplyDeleteThe most noteworthy revelation so far (in my opinion) has been the attitude of some Arab countries towards Iran.
