Reportage

Reportage is a technique, or style of drawing that documents things that you have observed or researched, even if it isn't a major event.


Rob Conway
Sadly much can't be found about Rob, but his artwork is a brilliant example of reportage through everyday life.
The above sketch was done in Barcelona, I'm guessing on Copacabana beach, most likely a bunch of holiday goers and locals enjoying the weather.

A pair of Old and Putrid's doing their shopping

And some dude from Formula one

 I really enjoy the quickness of his work, it seems free, as if he has held the pencil or paintbrush very loosely and let it's do its own thing, but with the finer details, like the old ladies face shows some real traditional artistic skill. Also the diversity of colour and lack of within his work makes it more interesting.




My Dachshund Nora

For my reportage artwork, I used Ink, it seems to have a mind of its own, just moving by itself, running away from the line work its supposed to settling on.



A girl, looking rather sad, so I added in the blue ink to try and portray this.






Again, practicing with inks, with my perfume and lipstick, I like how the colours have met and suddenly clashed.
