writing snippet

thanks @star4daisy for tagging me, I've actually been writing recently for once so here's a little (unedited) wolfstar snippet on their first date

���I am on my good days, Eryri has some good paths and Cwm Idwal is unbeatable.” The landscapes of his home country, the valleys and hills, lakes and fields, they had all been in the background of his fondest memories. “Of course, you’re Welsh.” Remus nodded, taking a sip of his coffee and noticing that Sirius did not, instead opting to watch the man, eyes swimming with eagerness. It was as if he was actually enjoying Remus’s revelations, as minor as they were, like getting to know him was genuinely the most thrilling concept in the world. “Born and bred, though I reluctantly left for university.”

One day this will see the world but progress is slow rn

Artist Research, Research Report

After looking through different forms of relations and connections with landscapes, I found the idea of certain artists being connected or potentially focusing on the same specific landscape as me, that being the landscape of North Wales an interesting topic to research next in this research project. By doing this I hope for there to be a similar but different feel to the next pieces produced in the next six weeks of the graphic media project.

Figure 1, Ffynnon Lloer 1948-50, John Piper

Figure 2, Cwm Idwal, North Wales, John Piper

One fascinating artist that can be looked at is John Piper who was an English Painter, Printer, and Designer of stained glass windows. He studied at Epsom College and then later trained at the Richmond School of Art and then continued at the Royal College of Art in London. Later on in his career between the years 1943 to 1950 John Piper spent his time exploring the location of Snowdonia the project was entitled ‘The Mountains of Wales’ during this period he produced several artworks drawn from life often in materials such as Ink, Watercolours, Gouache, and Oil Paints. These images are seen to have a large amount of drama with very interesting varieties of tone as most if not all are a very limited colour palette (Amgueddfa Cymru, John Piper: A Journey Through Snowdonia (museum.wales)). After having drawn in many areas of North Wales in this time he decided to move to South Wales spending large amounts of his time drawing and creating work in areas such as Pembrokeshire. The work of John Piper can be seen to capture his passion for this specific landscape which in many ways I would have liked to capture in mine.

Figure 3, Caernarfon Castle, North Wales, J M W Turner (Joseph Mallord William Turner, 'Caernarvon Castle, North Wales' 1800 (J.M.W. Turner: Sketchbooks, Drawings and Watercolours) | Tate)

The second artist being looked at is J M W Turner, an English Romanticism Painter, Printmaker and Watercolourist who sometimes used the landscapes of North Wales as a focus point. His landscapes in general are often described to be very creative and he is also well known for his expressive use of colours in the images he creates. At the point in his career when he was painting in the landscapes and mountainous areas of North Wales a main focus of his was the idea of Myths, Ancient History and the Dramas of Human Tragedy which in many ways may have helped with the narrative feel that is created in a number of his pieces. He once again like the previously spoken about artist John Piper travelled to the sites that he wished to draw, throughout the majority of his career he stuck to this having travelled large amounts of the UK and Europe throughout his life (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru, Turner and Wales - National Library of Wales). The work of J M W Turner was also one of John Piper's influences and the reason he decided to pursue creating art based on the landscapes of North Wales.

Figure 4, Oil Painting Of the Welsh Landscape, Ian Walton (The Ian Walton Gallery Farndon (ian-walton.com))

The third and final artist that will be looked at is Ian Walton who lives and paints in Beaumaris, Anglesey. His work often has a focus point that is based on skies, seascapes, and mountains. They are all completed in oil paints which he is self-taught having begun at the age of 13. When reading about this work his inspiration is often based around the idea of the power of nature, using a limited colour palette similar to most other artists that have been looking at work based around the idea of varying tones with similar intentions to John Piper in attempting to capture the drama of the places he paints. One of his main reasons for continuing to use the same landscapes and locations throughout his career is the idea that specifically in Wales there is a never-ending source of inspiration to gain reference from. A quote taken from his gallery site that can be particularly interesting is “I believe artists grow if they experiment and keep pushing the barriers, and create at their best when they have a connection with the subject. ” (About | The Ian Walton Gallery, The Ian Walton Gallery Farndon (ian-walton.com)) This peaked interested as the idea of gaining a connection with your source of inspiration often making your work better links with the idea of having a national identity and cultural identity as in this case he has always been from the area of Beaumaris, Anglesey he does, however, travel all over the area of Wales to create his oil paintings including places like Snowdonia and Llyn Peninsular.

Therefore after going back to look at several artists again before starting the second half of the Graphic Media project it now means that these people can be used as a reference when figuring out what I hope to achieve in the next six weeks. How the pieces may be produced in terms of colours and tones as well as styles.
