Digital derring do
I’ve been regularly using my iPad to draw en plein air from observation or to create digital collages in the studio transforming an existing traditional media image. Digital drawing is now a central pillar of my work and has opened up what seem like endless possibilities. I wanted to share my experiences of working digitally because I've benefitted enormously by making digital drawing part of my practice.
In my Digital blog I provide insights into drawing en plein air, working across media to create digital collages or making new work inspired by digital drawing and vice versa; plus the background to the digital post cards series which are made on my mobile phone.
Dumfries House print residency
Print Residency - 29th July - 8th August 2024, Dumfries House, Scotland.
In July 2024, I had a fabulous opportunity to join alumni from the Royal Drawing School on a print residency at Dumfries House. This was to include precious time in the print room, an opportunity to draw en plein air on a stunning estate of 2,000 acres and work as an Artist in Residence in the 18th-century house.
In my Dumfries House blog I share the work made and some of the things I learned along the way.
Studio news pages
A reminder that the best way to keep understanding what’s going on in the studio is to follow my account on Instagram @KarenEdwardsArt where I tend to upload various pieces of work every 2-3 weeks. With only Instagram ‘likes’ as a gauge of what’s working and what’s not, as ever your feedback is hugely valued. I also update a news page on the web site and send out a quarterly newsletter to subscribers that provides some further insight into what I’m making.
