Indoor scenes (11 Apr – 1 May)
Since I live in a flat, “stay at home” means “stay indoors”.
I started drawing the scenes around the flat.
I can look outdoors. We have a balcony which is just big enough for the drying rack. I have mended my rucksack. Then I washed it. After all, I won’t be needing a rucksack for a while.My principle is to draw things as I find them. I don’t move or adjust them. These are vernacular still lives: the way things are.In a corner the delivery boxes accumulate. There are a lot of delivery boxes.Here is the ironing board.Here are the things which accumulate at the end of the sofa.A scene by the kitchen sink.An apple from the vegetable delivery.Evening scenesThe important HDMI connector. I learned to make the TV work from my laptop. This was for the online life-drawing sessions.Miscellaneous objects get thrown together. Here, some knitting items meet the mobile phone technology.My desk. How can I work in such chaos? I am making a design for a swimming hat. A sample swimming hat is the red thing on the right.The huge onion.Laundry on the balcony, exercise towel, coat hanger. Before I finishd this picture, the rain came down, and I had to go out and get the washing in.Items form social groups: the weighing machine, the kitchen roll, a food container, the enamel plate, two shopping lists, the hand cream, a beer glass with the parsely in.
These are the drawings up to today, 1st May.
Stillman+Bern, Gamma series sketchbook. Still a lot of pages left to fill.

Hello – yes, thank you. I’m so glad to be able to get out and about again, since Wednesday. The air in London is so clear! Almost no pollution. The lack of road traffic really makes a difference.
Many thanks for your comment. I hope that you also are safe and well.
