Our Newsletter: Issue #34

Hello, and welcome to another issue of Our Newsletter.

Thank you to those of you that attended last Friday’s Open Studio & Drinks event, I had so much fun chatting to each and every one of you!

In the last week, I have fully moved the contents of my studio from London to the countryside, and I am so excited about what this chapter will bring in terms of creativity and inspirations.

Looking back at my older paintings, I am becoming aware of how my surrounding environment seeps into my work (without me always realising it does) so I’m looking forward to seeing how this move may change my approach a little bit.

In our last newsletter, I shared with you my newest painting “Winter (Simple Pleasures)”, today I’d like to share with you the digital drawing that I did alongside it.
It was after this drawing that I felt it was time to stop trying to push through a painting that wasn’t working and to change it completely.
Maybe because drawing the original idea in a way that felt conclusive got the idea out of my system and I was able to see the painting more objectively.
I titled this piece differently: “A Moment Suspended in Time”.

I’ve included both the digital drawing and painting below so you can compare.
Let me know your thoughts, if you wish.

Also, I’m still pinching myself about that Vanity Fair interview. If you didn’t have a chance to check it out last time, you can do so here.

I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead.

Lots of love,
Arietta xx
