Forgot this one. A few Sunday’s back saw me headed out with others in the Artists’ Safari group to take on the old East Perth Power Station. I have to say I loved it and will definitely be going back for more. The industrial sites, the more grim the better, will always get me in more than flowers and vistas. I’ll still turn up to draw but probably not be begging for a return visit. This spot is well worth a drive if you’re like minded with pencil in hand. This pic is pinched off the Artists Safari site – worth a look from week to week to see where we are headed if you’re interested. It’s not a Sunday painters group – more about challenging each other to get out of our comfort zones. Check it out.
The rest of the crew was smart enough to find a spot hidden from view, while I was so dazzled by the old iron masterpiece that I didn’t even notice that I had plonked down near a pathway. It ain’t a spectator sport folks! Jeff had to rescue me from onlookers twice before I gave up and headed down into the gully to hide behind the trees. Still it wasn’t bad down there either…
This is that unfinished first drawing (grrr…). Just charcoal on cartridge – I’m there to challenge not make pretty pictures. Was headed into this one to play with the moody shadows again the bright sky. Definitely have to go back for more.
