I completed my first blue series drawing. The colour is inspired by the tile work found all around Portugal. I purchased all matter of blues in different materials so I could discover what wold work best. None of which are col-erase, which would probably have been sufficient and I have a huge stack of them back home. Below is my latest episode which offers a glimpse into my thought process and some time lapse of my physical one.
My ideas are developing about what I hope to make for this residency, it just seems that time is ticking away quickly. I am managing to keep my focus but there is a full roster with many workshops and assignments between work days. I decided to skip one that did not interest me yesterday in favour of some seeing some sights and visiting the Gulbenkian museum.
It collection was amazing and up lifting. I revelled in the beauty of decorative arts and traditional collections, that was just what I needed mid week. I am going to try and get in more museums and take a bit of the pressure off, it is a "working" / "vacation" after all. Afterward I walked through a park and visited the Estufa Fria which is an outdoor botanical garden housed in a converted quarry.
