I was digging about in some old boxes in the attic earlier today and came across a box of old school stuff. This box was sealed up and put aside some 30 years ago!! I was quite artistic at school and I had quite a collection of pastels, pencils, water colours and such, all of which got boxed up and totally forgot about. The box has moved around with me on my house moving travels over the years, but never re-opened....until today.
So I got them all out and found a picture of my favourite fish, the european perch, and proceeded to draw it. It felt weird because I haven't done anything really artistic since school, but it seemed to come back to me. See the resulting picture below. It's no where near finished, it still needs a lot of work but I was struggling somewhat because my colouring media was well past its best by date.
I'm seriously thinking of buying a load of modern art gear and starting up again. What do you reckon?
