Inside my sketch book

I love visiting Gower, which I'm lucky too live by. Here I'm going to show you inside my sketch book on my latest trip I took just last week. I was a bit rusty as the weathers been cold and haven't visited for a while but I soon enjoyed studying away. Here is the results. Guess which coast? :)

Accidental Art

I get very excited when something unexpected happens. Made by originally just soaking up the ink of my desk, noticed a face shape so why not. I like it, turned out better than the piece I was working on I reckon.

London and Early Influences

Recently been to London visiting galleries which was great seeing a few of my favourite artists; Augustus John, Ceri Richards, Turner, Renoir and a lot more. But the best achievement, after walking what felt miles, was seeing a WHOLE wall full of Van Gogh's at the "The National Gallery". Amazing. When seven I was introduced to "Messy" oil pastels, I attempted many times to copy his work through books. I've had the pleasure of finding one, just for laughs here it is. A poor attempt of the painting "Church at Auvers" (which is sadly not located at the "The National Gallery"), still good too look back in time. Oil pastel age 7

Introduction

My name is Bethany Hayman and I'm 19, I've been interested in art throughout my life. I'l be using this Blog as a Online Portfolio and Timeline to see how I progress with my art, I want an audience so thought this would be a great way to do so. Il be updating often and when something exciting comes up.

 Its my first time setting up any kind of Blog so I think I'l leave you with something small which was great fun making simply by using  chickenwire, modrock and painted with acrylic. Also influenced by one of my favourite artists (Kevin Sinnott, "Running Away With The Hairdresser")
