New Grassmarket screen print

I am working on a whole new series of Scottish inspired prints, the first one is of the Grassmarket in Edinburgh. This is the view from the foot of Victoria Street, with the Cowgate to the left and West Port to the right. Available to purchase here: susie wright shop

Berlin, Reichstag

Half way through the Reichstag, drawn in glorious hot sunshine, although the threat of sunbun followed by a serious thunder storm and an unusually large number of spiders and ants meant I had to abandon the drawing before I was quite finished. The joys of drawing on location!

Berlin, Historic Mitte

Drawing in the rain under the Paul-Lobe-Haus and the Marie-Elizabeth-Luders-Haus. I had to keep moving position to avoid the rain drops.

Berlin, Alexander Platz

I have a new blog for my location drawings as well as drawings inspired by recent explorations. Have a look here: susiewright.tumblr.com

Berlin, Berliner Dom, Staatsbibliothek & Potsdamer Platz

Beliner Dom, I did this drawing in three trips, each time working until my fingers lost feeling because of the cold.


Another brief lunch time concert at the Philharmonie followed by a surprisingly warm stint of drawing the Staatsbibliotek and some more buildings around Potsdamer Platz

Berlin, Hauptbanhof

After a visit to the Hamburger Banhof, a drawing of the Hauptbanhof on another chilly afternoon in Berlin.

More drawing in Berlin

I was asked to draw the Sony Centre as a gift for the architect Helmut Jahn, thankfully it warmed up enough to sit outside all day and not get numb hands once!



A quick drawing of the view over the Spree, too cold to sit in one place for too long that day!

Berlin

I am in Berlin for a while, getting lots of architectural inspiration and trying to stay warm. It's a world away from being in India but an interesting contrast. I went to a lunch time concert at the Berlin Philharmoniker today and heard some beautiful music from Misa Criolla. Afterwards I took the opportunity, while it wasn't totally freezing, to do some drawing outside, until my hands lost all feeling. Then retreated inside for a coffee and more drawing. There's even some people in the second image!

INDIA

Transport to the surf, chai and doghnuts

Epic train and bus journeys through amazing landscapes

20/21 International Art Fair and new print work

I have three new prints showing with Tag Fine Arts at The 20/21 International Art Fair which is taking place at the RCA from 16th-19th Feb 2012.

Tibidabo - etching & screen print

I've been working with the drawings I did in Barcelona over the summer and have been trying out etching as a new process, it gives you such a great quality of line so different from screen printing and indulges my labour intense way of drawing!

Booklet Library

Two of my self published books (In the deer park and Barcelona MMX) made it over to Japan to be included in the Booklet Library

I'm currently working on a second Barcelona book and a set of etchings and have exciting travels lined up for the next few months so new locations are on their way.

Perpignan to Lille

Who doesn't like drawing pylons, buildings and speeding by landscape from a moving train in France?

BARCELONA MMXI

So apart from being very excited about my brother's wedding at the weekend, I am also very excited about the drawings I did whilst I was visiting Barcelona again recently. Two weeks of total happiness, doing what I love. I can't wait to get into the print studio but in the meantime here are a few work in progress shots of my sketchbook.

van doesburg

I had a good morning at Tate Modern last week listening to piano music and doing some drawing at the Van Doesburg exhibition. I lived in Holland for a few months, many years ago now, but seeing this made me want to go back and emerse myself in exciting design.
