3 Steps to Successful Personal Growth & Goal-Setting in the New Year. There are a lot of New Year’s plans we make, only to break them come February. This may be a result of thinking short-term and setting unrealistic goals that are easy to shrug off when they aren’t met. Strategic long-term planning allows you to shoot for personal.

Much of my work in this course has been verging on the abstract expressionist, and responding to the properties of my materials. I have decided to challenge my observation and patience with a realistic detailed drawing of knitting. I had been considering a self-portrait after the manner of Chuck Close, but I decided to represent myself through a process and object.
Knitting is, surprisingly, intrinsic to my life at present. I knitted when I was young but it slipped away from me when I had young children. In the last few years, though, I have returned to knitting whilst sitting with my Mother-in-Law. I spend quite a lot of time with her and we speak on the phone every day, and, frankly, I run out of things to say. However, I have found that we can sit in companionable silence provided we have a bit of hand-work. (I have tried drawing but it seems unacceptable in a hospital or nursing home; an invasion of privacy, and Mum doesn’t want me to draw her ‘looking old’.)
Knitting is a wonderful technology, allowing for almost infinite 3d shaping. In Sculpture 1, I knitted several sculptures with heavy cord and really enjoyed the process and the giant results. Rather than draw my current knitting, I have chosen to draw a bas-relief that I made of knitting using plaster. This means that I can hang it on the wall with strong directional lighting. Also, since the drawing is likely to take considerable time, the position of the knitting cannot be disrupted by being accidentally moved.
This knitting was done on a very large needle using nylon cord and then pressed into clay before casting with plaster of paris.
I started a study in my sketchbook, but found that I was concentrating on the minute details before establishing the overall design. This meant that one section of drawing was not joining up with the next. I then concentrated on establishing the rhythm of the loops and the way the knitting worked as a whole, so that detail could be subsequently added.

I have found these fine pencil drawings difficult to photograph without distorting tone.

I did look at drawing a normal, smaller, more uniform piece of knitting, but the bas-relief knitting has the visual advantage that the nylon cord produces strong loops and, in places, twists. The plied structure of the cord is clearly visible and I want to capture both the large scale design and the small scale detail.
In my sketchbook, I had started with a very finely sharpened HB pencil, but found even that made too imprecise marks. The final drawing was made with a 2H sharpened on sand paper. This has resulted in a limited range of paler tones, almost like silverpoint.
Arthritis in my hand makes drawing with precision challenging, and time-consuming with many breaks. I decided to work in phases across the drawing, using a loose grip at the end of the pencil for initial placement, a stronger grip for refining the curves and then a normal pencil grip for detail. I rotated between these to give my hand a rest, which meant that one part of the drawing was being fully resolved whilst another was still being laid in.

Working over a length of time allowed me to return to the drawing after a break and view it more objectively. I have decided that I like the drawing with these phases apparent and don’t want to actually resolve the whole drawing. I think that it is more interesting showing the process of making rather than having a polished, and frankly more boring, ‘finished’ image.

Whilst I appreciate the value of careful, observational drawing, this style of realistic drawing does not give me satisfaction and I find the end result bland. Even though this drawing makes no pretence of being to the minute standard of photo-realism, this level of detail requires the suppression of the characterful mark and of the character of the media used; the artist and the mark should be effacing. I am a gestural drawer, so find this very difficult, even distasteful. I have subverted the realism by showing how the drawing is constructed which I feel makes it much more interesting.
