</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Finally got around to posting the illustration I made after our outing to The Meadows in Edinburgh, as detailed in my previous post <i>Autumnal Inspiration. </i>I've really enjoyed getting back into ink and watercolour drawing, which I used lots in my book <a href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1386638?ce=blurb_ew&utm_source=widget" target="_blank">Behind the Scenes: Creating Theatre for the Very Young</a>. The drawing is for one of several designs for a small commission I'm working on: the client wanted an image that would communicate a sense of freedom, and was keen on the childlike urge to keep up fallen leaves .</div>Hannah Ryehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13415154738384979473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197286761595242388.post-23148816328604751742011-11-03T11:10:00.000-07:002011-11-03T11:13:29.096-07:00Autumnal Inspiration<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

It was a chilly day, so we retreated to Peter's Yard afterwards to warm up with cakes, scones, coffee and peppermint tea! Thanks very much Ola & Giorgos.

I haven't blogged for ages where does the time go? Been spending quite a lot of time going through location drawings to develop some prints/publications from them, and here are few more from my 'mini-drawing residency' at <a href="http://www.scotsfiddlefestival.com/fiddle2011/index.html">Scots Fiddle Festival</a> last year. I'm hoping to make a series of prints or a small book of prints developed from these. More info about the drawings are did and the musicians are to be found at <a href="http://hannahryeillustration.blogspot.com/2011/03/fiddle-festival-drawings.html">http://hannahryeillustration.blogspot.com/2011/03/fiddle-festival-drawings.html</a>.Hannah Ryehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13415154738384979473noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197286761595242388.post-86320308067294085342011-07-17T08:14:00.000-07:002011-07-17T08:45:11.084-07:00Illustration Friday: Gesture<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpBgW-xisY_7d9U6jUXRoQ8Z3OodJ2eQEaqdffJmFaMarGKEky66ib3oSPRRILzKkWN61G9b7gmpP7FEhLcpunYI9e2YT3i3QDJrJ368fr5xcXDmj3cOVJ2ueztOrdmb9LKnq5xJEDPawL/s1600/Landscape1+for+email+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpBgW-xisY_7d9U6jUXRoQ8Z3OodJ2eQEaqdffJmFaMarGKEky66ib3oSPRRILzKkWN61G9b7gmpP7FEhLcpunYI9e2YT3i3QDJrJ368fr5xcXDmj3cOVJ2ueztOrdmb9LKnq5xJEDPawL/s320/Landscape1+for+email+.jpg" width="269" /></a></div><br />
My offering for this week's Illustration Friday theme, <i>gesture</i>, features a stage actress rehearsing a performance for very young children. This week's theme made me think about the movement and immediacy of live theatre performers, and how best to capture that spontaneity in a single image. I made the drawing in situ, sitting on the floor with my 'mobile' drawing kit spread out in front of me. By the time I drew this, I was completely absorbed in the process that the performers were going through, and had watched the actress repeating this routine several times over. I used ink, watercolour and a very small amount of Photoshop afterwards, just to clean up the image once I had scanned it.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of the actresses at work in their humble rehearsal room at Leith Community Centre, Edinburgh, Scotland:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This digital archival print, based on a drawing I made of <i>Nigg Long Pier</i> in Cromarty, will feature in a fundraising art sale this weekend (Sat 28/Sun 29 May). I made the drawing during a brilliant residency last year in October. See my <a href="http://hannahryeillustration.blogspot.com/p/cromarty-residency.html">Cromarty pages</a> for more info on my residency. The art sale takes place in the downstairs wing of The Stables in Cromarty, as part of <a href="http://www.cromartyartstrust.org.uk/">Cromarty Arts Trust</a>'s arts & crafts weekend <i>Wooden It Be Nice. </i>The art sale will help raise funds for a local Cromarty resident, Izzy Thomson, to volunteer in Borneo and Cambodia. It features some leading Highland-based artists including Rosie Newman and Gillian Jones.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

My old friend Dan has just sent me some links to his amazing baking blog & <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dether/sets/72157624230179995/">Flickr photostream</a>. The 'Fougasse' loaves (on the left) look particularly irresistable. Perhaps that's what I need to give me some inspiration to do some more work!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Just a few of my drawings of musicians playing live at the <a href="http://www.scotsfiddlefestival.com/">Scots Fiddle Festival</a> in November.

I'm planning to develop the drawings a wee bit and work towards an exhibition in the near future. Thanks very much to Eilidh for inviting me, and making contact when she saw my prints and drawings of musicians during my <a href="http://illustration.eca.ac.uk/">Degree Show</a> at Edinburgh College of Art last year.</span></span>Hannah Ryehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13415154738384979473noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197286761595242388.post-42035929243367781372011-01-24T06:39:00.000-08:002011-02-18T03:08:05.616-08:00Collagraph goes to new home!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

I'm delighted that Emma Nightingale, sister of the owner of Cromarty House, has purchased this nine-plate collagraph print, one of a current edition of only two. I created the collagraph plates during my residency at <a href="http://www.cromartyartstrust.org.uk/">Cromarty Arts Trust</a>, as a visual response to the observations and drawings I made there during the beautiful autumn in Cromarty last October. I printed the plates whilst I was up in the Black Isle, at <a href="http://www.highlandprintstudio.co.uk/">Highland Print Studio</a>, a fantastic resource in nearby Inverness.</div>Hannah Ryehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13415154738384979473noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2197286761595242388.post-38182302644646571772010-09-16T09:59:00.000-07:002010-09-16T10:04:46.301-07:00Gasworks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyGKu3RUQ7PIrReF1dDEY1gBWLpo6Jww2NjfwkJN_gCEB1YIZpypvQqp9U92r0X3hXbeyyrnimlErkw1MuhSK_U3KXkJxSRBAw_okFUeUJrKVADB7ippRWOSWTM0QLaCYbgG499zwbx7xp/s1600/Gasworksoutside_feb2009.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 104px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyGKu3RUQ7PIrReF1dDEY1gBWLpo6Jww2NjfwkJN_gCEB1YIZpypvQqp9U92r0X3hXbeyyrnimlErkw1MuhSK_U3KXkJxSRBAw_okFUeUJrKVADB7ippRWOSWTM0QLaCYbgG499zwbx7xp/s400/Gasworksoutside_feb2009.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517557291076035330" /></a>Just noticed this organisation on-line through Arts Professional. They run annual international residencies and exchanges; bringing artists over to London from across the world, as well as enabling artists from the UK to take up international residencies including Cuba and Kenya. Food for thought. Their interpretation of visual art embraces film and design as well as fine art.

After weeks trying unsuccessfully to print the rest of my book <i>Behind the Scenes: Creating Theatre for the Very Young </i>on the Epsom inkjet printers at edinburgh college of art, I was forced to make a last minute purchase of this printer. I chose inkjet over laser printing, as from what I'd learned it would be the most suitable way of reproducing my ink and watercolour illustrations to a high standard of finish for my final assessment.</div><div><br /></div><div>Strangely, there don't seem to be any printers who reproduce commercially using ink-jet printing. The only place I found was a 'giclee' fine art printers in Leith, but they said it might be quite complicated to print the imposition of the book.</div><div><br /></div><div>P.S.
