LUCINDA ROGERS

Lucinda Rogers is a fascinating artist who works. mainly with ink, and sometimes crayon and watercolour. She works in quite a traditional way, almost as a reporter, as she immerses herself into the environment and works straight from eye to paper. This definitely motivates me to get out and draw more often on location as her work contains aspects of spontaneity and such movement (despite the static scene). I really like her varied line thickness, allowing things to be pulled forward making it easier for the viewer to read. I also find it so intriguing the way perspective is often distorted - sometimes there isn't a distinctive horizon line which I would say gives the scene some more personality and movement.

Here I have done some studies of Lucinda Rogers' work, one of a view from outside my house, one of my living room and I also did a study of some shoes that were in the hall way - doing my own creation of a similar piece of work that Lucinda Rogers' had done of some muddy shoes. I really like this style of working as I feel you can work more freely and I think the varied thickness in line is really effective. I really enjoyed the shoes study as you can still add in lots of little details and using my finger tip for shading and 'mud' I thought gave this study a real personality.
