Introducing Drawings Delivered

Winged Victory of Samothrace, Louvre Museum, Summer 2008

Dear Friends and Fellow Art Enthusiasts, 

I am happy to inaugurate/commence/kick-off this new blog, Drawings Delivered, to record and reflect on the drawings I will make by request while in London (and where donations are warmly accepted!). 

I will be in London during the last week of January and I hope to spend most of the time wandering the heated halls of the free museums (UK winters, no fun). Since I will be keeping my own sketchbook anyway, I decided that with my extra free time I could make sketches to give to people who may be interested.

So I have decided to set up a “Drawings by Donation” project where you, dear reader, can simply email me if you would like a drawing and donate whatever you feel is appropriate. Since I will be making the drawings from original works in museums, they will not be fully finished masterpieces—more likely a sketch or quick study that will hopefully be beautiful in its own way. The money will be used primarily to pay the postage to send the drawings but also to help restock my dwindling drawing materials and pay admission fees to the museums that are not free. In all seriousness, you can donate whatever amount you want—I realize that everyone has a different economic situation and any and all donations will be much appreciated!

I would also like to give you some say in the drawing you request. Since people experience and enjoy art on an individual level, I hope to cater to your tastes as best I can while inevitably leaving the traces of my own artistic style in the sketches.

In short, Welcome! If you are interested in requesting a drawing simply click the PayPal donate button on the right sidebar, enter any amount, and specify your preferences (and current shipping address!) For more specifics on donating and what to include in a request, check out the tabs at the top of the page for more info. If you want to peruse the finished sketches, stay tuned until February when I will post them!

Till next time,

Nicole
