The first of my own art on this blog. In Gary's drawing class we had to use alternative drawing materials and one of the things I used was (sunflower) oil. I wanted the drawing to represent light because the oil turns the page greasy and translusent, I had the idea to shine a light behind it to bring out the drawing. I represented light through rays (from the top left) and fireworks/catherine wheels. I kept the drawing loose by holding the brush at the far end while drawing and also flicking oil.
