| Graphic Recording of our meeting: NOT! |
Firstly, the joy, messiness and fun was real. I believe that networking between practitioners on a human level just improves our quality of life.
Plus as far as GR is concerned
tips are shared
on-line purchases might be grouped
group support is provided as we make forays to Art Friend, Popular BS & Diaso!
Just trying out each other stuff was exhilerating
Like a kid in a candy store is a GR with blank paper before him/her and uncapped marker in hand.
Markers, Neuland, Big ones, Diaso; of various tints, brilliance,
fading water based colours were thought to be less outstanding
pungent uneco-friendly markers were cost effective
Tri-color pencil, no wood pencils,
Three varieties of pastels, thick stick oils, soft sticks, and pan
cosmetic sponges
Some hints
Learned from Aussi friends: when using a set of double ended markers (Copic?) use masking tape to tape a row of caps together and have all markers in same direction: so you dont have to guess "is it thick or thin?"when you pull one out to use;
Use of plastic tablecloth taped to wall prevents risk of marker ink bleed thru paper staining a wall.
When supported by a client, don't stinge on markers and colours, masking tape etc: nothing but the best!
When doing workshop on GR, take at least 2 days:
Day 1 focus on the drawing:
Big mental hurdle "I can't draw"
This question prompted heated response
"What do you use to wash marker stains off your hands?"
1 Hard work, wash many times
2 Wash once only and let remanant wear off
3. Leave "battle scars" on esp when meeting client: adds street creds
Post meeting was a discussion on carrier tube for our 1.2 metre paper
a ski bag with wheels was an option. Or a fencer's foil, sabre bag?
NEXT MEETING (not written in stone)
Agenda: "Icon sketching jam session"
