Grazyna's Sketchbooks
At the AGM in September we all agreed to be a little more resourceful and harness some of the creative spirit and talent within group for our regular meetings. We are always keen to discuss what's on and exhibitions we have seen but we sometimes forget that as individual artists we could share more of ourselves. This week Grazyna did just that and brought in some of her wonderful sketchbooks dating back to her time at Goldsmith's where she studied Graphic Design.
We were mesmerised by both the size and detail of Grazyna's botanical watercolours and the emotion captured in her figure drawings, they were indeed a privilege to see.
This style of drawing is very demanding and with a growing family Grazyna looked to City & Guilds Embroidery to broaden her skills and develop a freer approach. Since then she has been an active member of Cheshire Textiles and continues to produce the most amazing sketchbooks. They might be a different style with less realism but they still reflect Grazyna's skill and creative talent. Thank you for sharing them. Jen
