Daily drawing 21-2-2012: Brick-rocks. Watercolour.

Brick fragments from the beach, ground by the sea into pebble-forms. I went through a phase of ‘scientific’ drawing: trying to render things accurately at 1:1 scale. I would place each object on the page and copy it. I never pencilled, so the layout was emergent. I had a little folding box of watercolours— each colour in its own little compartment— and a little hollow brush that folded away inside its own handle. I’ve found broken vintage watercolour pallettes on the beach once or twice: they are glazed white ceramic, with round depressions in them for colour-mixing.
