Sark has only just become a democracy. Before Sarks first democratic election, taking place earlier this year, it was a self governing feudal state. In the feudal system the only people with a vote or say in how the island was run were land (tennement) owners. The Seigneur was the head of the island taking a share of all land sales. The only person above the Seigneur, in the old feudal system, being the Queen of England. In this drawing you can see the Seigneurs house in the back ground. I will add colour in the next couple of days.</span><br /></div><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGXXBd650PhsvAW3wos6vhG6YFaTWOlZQhdmrrGnMn4gu0oYIaH7OLmJlVNYM1DjEuYWDEU7EER8FfbqKyLfQ9ZLR3pcSOFMbDv5UogHDSnJe34ligap7TwE9jCpAJi9-b2k8x0hxP-nE/s1600-h/sark-gardens-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGXXBd650PhsvAW3wos6vhG6YFaTWOlZQhdmrrGnMn4gu0oYIaH7OLmJlVNYM1DjEuYWDEU7EER8FfbqKyLfQ9ZLR3pcSOFMbDv5UogHDSnJe34ligap7TwE9jCpAJi9-b2k8x0hxP-nE/s400/sark-gardens-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366023275342916002" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">La Seigneurie Gardens, ink on paper (above)</span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572537786627710744.post-59575433667913680532009-08-03T11:14:00.003+01:002009-08-04T09:47:21.043+01:00Sark Gardens<div style="text-align: justify;font-family:arial;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Sark</span> is a small pin cushioned shaped island in the English channel, with a population of only 500 people. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Sark</span> has no cars, street lights or tarmacked roads and is even self governing.

I chose a volunteer at the Bath Abbey, the curator of the American Museum just outside Bath and a waitress from the Pump Room which is Bath's poshest place to have tea. One of the challenges was that the portraits had to be A6 in size, so these are all small pieces of work.</span><br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Qy__tMkjljTOy55aZYt1-DufUKJkAx6a8G3JcNutE5FS6DXEYffbqUZFXW4fdYZYtbPXwvX_qDOrKt_bU00ucjai-CkSsLpCBETveQnUk6euGVMKwdaK2nUpJ8hpOmKqJXN8TPzRX5E/s1600-h/abbey-portrait.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4Qy__tMkjljTOy55aZYt1-DufUKJkAx6a8G3JcNutE5FS6DXEYffbqUZFXW4fdYZYtbPXwvX_qDOrKt_bU00ucjai-CkSsLpCBETveQnUk6euGVMKwdaK2nUpJ8hpOmKqJXN8TPzRX5E/s400/abbey-portrait.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358986241044123874" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">Volunteer at Bath Abbey (above) ink on paper.</span><br /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIYMlKg0d_jOAFVdrirjGLWtHXmMfawxyMtQdweTjCL_mlNYDwauD3NXrjiplVsV79ysoAd3ykFTTG2GJDQx1j-XLGKXRgylQvIV1Ku54qrGKr2gOTzUowbjr3NwDSEltl2m47xtFPGHU/s1600-h/laura-bearesford.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIYMlKg0d_jOAFVdrirjGLWtHXmMfawxyMtQdweTjCL_mlNYDwauD3NXrjiplVsV79ysoAd3ykFTTG2GJDQx1j-XLGKXRgylQvIV1Ku54qrGKr2gOTzUowbjr3NwDSEltl2m47xtFPGHU/s400/laura-bearesford.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358986242917441730" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">The Curator of the American Museum just outside Bath.</span><br /></div><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnoas8nktx-21Cm4tqNfEvUZ9CyKQwWJjUV598LYFYaznOgoaqSF9wYve0fY0VXGH39x3NqR62virO8Y1uPlFRpiMABFWr2kL3F7xnjkm5GfBZqwwiBs87lz2UFR7qm3upjkeqZg7DVmM/s1600-h/pumprooms-portrait.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 289px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnoas8nktx-21Cm4tqNfEvUZ9CyKQwWJjUV598LYFYaznOgoaqSF9wYve0fY0VXGH39x3NqR62virO8Y1uPlFRpiMABFWr2kL3F7xnjkm5GfBZqwwiBs87lz2UFR7qm3upjkeqZg7DVmM/s400/pumprooms-portrait.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358986245350944290" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;">A waitress at the Pump Room Bath's poshest place to have tea.</span><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572537786627710744.post-30615375969234491182009-06-23T16:29:00.006+01:002009-06-23T19:20:50.710+01:00Roses, Marlborough Buildings<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Roses in Marlborough Buildings Allotments are the initial dip ink drawings to be painted later this week.

The class lasts for 3 hours which, after breaks is around two and half hours of painting time. The first couple of hours I spent on the larger horizontal picture, drawing in charcoal then working back in acrylics finally finishing with charcoal lines over the top. The second picture was done in the last half hour. The model was actually a beautiful young girl, but the portrait makes her look old and frumpy, albeit with golden shoes. </span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEXuCYBr-NuxXwzjY0OjKrx8VDp_sMerd0MB21izw5odegmIdMaELWKB-H0ESFs8nfRngXYrBln-dEXumbTNiBxSLT4YnpMyJ4GvI-guGJcm3Fm2QOLlPAZC1VIkRChvqpj5dAQ26BmG8/s1600-h/portrait-pose-2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEXuCYBr-NuxXwzjY0OjKrx8VDp_sMerd0MB21izw5odegmIdMaELWKB-H0ESFs8nfRngXYrBln-dEXumbTNiBxSLT4YnpMyJ4GvI-guGJcm3Fm2QOLlPAZC1VIkRChvqpj5dAQ26BmG8/s400/portrait-pose-2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343177633917718178" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">A3 portrait.
