Drawing Meets Painting with Deborah Hall (10M x 1.5)


Deborah and I have been working together on a project called: Drawing Meets Painting. We have a joint show in 2011 at : " The Willis Museum" in Basingstoke Hampshire (UK) Title: Space.
This work is very large! People who know me well know that I do not do small works. I like the idea of turning this drawing so it would hang on a wall and going around a whole room .
We have spent many months working on the drawing building it up in layers, I like using a fine wash although but Deborah likes to pour ink on to the paper. Deborah uses canvases that which can take a lot of water where as some paper cannot take that much. As we are using 200g "Fabriano" paper but I like to use 300g rough papers. We are using smooth it not quite right for me either, so we are working on a medium that isn't right for neither of us.
When we are work on the work we have no idea what the weather is doing outside even when it pouring down with rain.
