Priley Riley, Mothers Day (UK), 26th March 2017

As its Mothers Day in the UK, I wanted to share my life drawings from last Tuesday (21^st March) of a mother-to-be. I spent between 5 and 15 minutes on each of the A3 pencil drawings shown. I had 2 of my life drawings, depicting other female models, in a small exhibition at the Winchester School of Art from the 20^th to 22^nd March.

In addition, I went to the ‘Small Faces’ exhibition at Solent Showcase Gallery yesterday, where I have a pencil drawing of my mum on display. My work is in the centre of the first two photos. I really enjoyed seeing this exhibition and the diversity of the portraits on show.

Priley Riley, Update, 8th March 2017

A few updates on my work:

I’m pleased to share that I received a Merit on all three assessments last semester.

Last week I visited Modern Art Oxford, the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Ashmolean Museum with the Winchester School of Art.

I’m currently exhibiting a pencil portrait at Solent Showcase Gallery- nearly 600 people attended the exhibition’s opening on the 2nd of March! The exhibition is on until the 21st of April.

I’ve attached a few images of my current artwork. At the moment, I’m doing a lot of work on clothing; drawing clothing (top image), working into some of these drawings using Photoshop (2nd, 3rd and 4th images), knitting items of clothing, and (by contrast) doing life drawing. I’ve also been taking photographs, for example of my fiancé and his luminous clothing reflecting onto the window of a train.
