First time in an evening class entitled Experimental Drawing.
Given charcoal and a big sheet of paper, I started to draw shapes inspired by murmurations of starlings. However, the scale altered as I progressed.
Swarming gnats came to mind.

I love the shadows and reflection in the water. Thee is a depth to this drawing!
Thanks. I love charcoal as a medium.
I enjoy the sense of twisting, spiralling motion. Yes, charcoal has a wonderful malleability, doesn’t it?
Drawing looks great. I think this is a really interesting idea that you should explore.
Paul Nash was the artist I mentioned.

Thanks Kevin. The charcoal or pencil drawings of Paul Nash are so powerful. I did not know him until your post.
Kevin is the tutor on the Experimental Drawing class by the way.

Hi, Do you sell any of your artwork? If so, could you contact me via email? Love the swarm!
Hi Jennifer,
Sure happy to sell. Currently, as I am not professional, profits go to our research fund – each reagent in an experiment can cost a few hundred quid so every little helps. I can’t seem to link to your email address through your gravatar though.
