Do you do a pencil drawing first and then do the ink? I am sure I would make horrible mistakes if I did the ink straight out! Lovely touch with the washing-up liquid and drainer!
Thanks very much Kathleen - I'm just trying to figure out who my DH is! Anita, I don't do a pencil sketch first - it's just like jumping in the deep end - you don't know if you're going to sink or swim, and I sink a lot! I quite like that feeling though! Thanks very much Deborah.
My name is Angie Wood and I live on a narrowboat on the beautiful Oxford canal.
A long time ago in the eighties I studied Art and Design at Goldsmiths College and went on to be a paste up artist and then a graphic designer. I’ve never stopped painting and drawing though – I painted pet and animal portraits for a while and over the past two years have begun creating small oil paintings of vintage objects, textiles and flowers. I collect items from fleamarkets to paint and my little narrowboat is getting fuller all the time! I’m particularly delighted by colourful patterns on textiles and ceramics and I also love painting reflective surfaces. I’m usually attracted to items from the early part of the twentieth century, which bring back memories of my great aunts’ and grandmother’s cosy houses. My artistic aim is to pay homage to the things I paint by observing them as closely as I can, and to create something beautiful that will hopefully make people as happy as I was when I was making it!
