I want to draw large and bold. I work on several pieces
2 x 1.5 metres AND it is wonderful working large...AND
I get tired climbing up and down on the stool.

MARS
Still within the Ruby Gap experience, I think Mars and head off to imagine the Mars landscape. And, I settle for drawing on paper that is half the size. More managable physcially and large enough.
THEN
comes the blackness - a surface of black Posca marker, which creates a rough and luscious matte surface.
Then the search for the right mark to make on the surface.
I try a builders straightline chalk marker - the result is fabulous, tender as a contrast to the brute black, but it is too fragile to stand up to handling. After a number of trials I settle for a line made with coloured pencil, which is similarly tender.
