2015WIP #3: Diarmuid
I’ve had a very busy week, but eventually found a few hours to make some progress in my latest commission, Diarmuid. I completed half of his jumper, which really starts to balance the drawing through the nice contrast with his lighter toned face. This week I was working in and preparing for the new exhibition, Stray by Paul Gaffney , in Belfast Exposed gallery. The exhibition runs for 6 weeks, and the artist is present throughout, applying different approaches to printing, framing, mounting, projecting and illuminating the work.
In the previous work in progress update, I finished drawing Diarmuid’s head and neck area. The drawing is of my friend’s 4 year old son, Diarmuid, and the photograph used is his school portrait.
