"I have a need to sketch impressions that excite me as I create them; and when finished, will hopefully appeal to you as well." Kathy Getchell |
| Welcome to Gailearai Getchell |
| Dia duit! After a very long interruption, I picked up a sketchbook in 2006 and feverishly began to draw. Almost immediately I felt an overwhelming sense of relief, and I knew I had found the outlet for the images that were bottled up in my head. I rarely see things as they really are ... instead, I view them as I think they should be. Charcoals are my favorite medium for almost all compositions. When gazing at scenery, floral arrangements or colorful imagery, I tend to view as a beautiful charcoal drawing. It's amazing that such distinctive values can be achieved using such a short list of supplies! With no real formal training or instruction, I'm still learning through trial, error, erasure ... and more erasure! I've also discovered that I am more comfortable with a freehand approach rather than using trace or grid. The same can be said for my photographic senses. My mind observes with an asymmetrical view, and the need to reveal what I “see” is irresistible. Please take a few moments to view a new outlet for my photography, museum quality canvas prints. New artwork, photography and works in progress are continually being added, so please feel free to check back! Also, check out my goblet and glass page!
