SUMMARY:Drawing on the RBSA Collection - Dry Media Works 1822-2022
DESCRIPTION:Drawing with dry media is as old as mankind.  Ochre and charcoal dust were blown through straws onto cave walls by the first artists.  In more recent times\, the dry media of pencil\, pastel\, and charcoal were favoured by travelling artists as ideal for drawing with minimum of fuss on site in sketchbooks or portfolios.  Drawing was the means through which European artists recorded\, prepared\, studied\, and imagined\, and it was often a prelude to painting or engraving.  Dry media were also central to art training and versatile both en plein air and in the studio. \nFine drawings are valued not just for their subtle qualities\, but also or the insights they offer into the artist’s creative imagination.  Works shown cover the whole range of expression from the bold and strident Hippopotamus Amphibius by David Walton RBSA\, to the delicately drawn Dovecote in pastel by James Jelley RBSA. \nThe pencil has been used in the UK since the late 16th century when pure graphite deposits were discovered in Cumbria\, corresponding with the establishment of paper mills in England able to satisfy the increasing demand from artists.  Good examples of Victorian pencil drawing are seen in the exquisite landscapes of the Lines family who developed a trademark style of lively\, accurate observational drawing.  Pastels\, made of coloured pigment bound with gum\, give the artist the whole range of colours available to the watercolourist and oil painter.  Two contrasting examples are the magical Wild Beauty of Clee by Claire Spencer RBSA\, and the radiant\, Vitalism 2 by Janette Summerfield RBSA. \nPrivate View: Thursday 29 February 6.00 – 8.00pm\nArtists in Conversation: Saturday 23 March 2.00 – 3.00pm \nFeatured image: Ann Wilkinson RBSA\, Sliced Oranges c.1998
