Frog-Cottage retrato del Hogar y para el hogar


FROG-Cottage 2022: Un dibujo con sabor a hogar


Drop-in artist:
Un encargo que evoca un lugar especial.

En mi página de eventos, comparto un tipo de arte muy personal: dibujos collage compuestos a partir de fotografías. La técnica es sencilla pero evocadora: dibujo a tinta con toques de color.


Para este encargo en particular, el desafío era retratar un Airbnb llamado Frog-cottage, ubicado en algún rincón de Francia. A partir de las indicaciones de la clienta, busqué crear una imagen que transmitiera la calidez y el ambiente de este lugar tan querido.

Mis "collage con cuento", como los llamo, se caracterizan por ser bastante descriptivos. A través de la combinación de imágenes y detalles, intento contar una historia visual que capture la esencia del lugar y el evento que se quiere recordar.

En este caso, la composición se armó a partir de fotografías de Instagram, lo que añadió un toque contemporáneo y personal al proyecto. La idea era crear un recuerdo entrañable de la propiedad en Francia, un lugar lleno de significado para la clienta y su familia.

El dibujo a tinta sobre papel de acuarela, con delicados toques de acuarela, es un estilo que conecta con la tradición del urban sketching. La mancha de color complementa y realza el dibujo, creando una atmósfera evocadora.

Si te interesa este tipo de trabajo, puedes contactarme a través de mis redes sociales @dagugli. En mi página web www.Thedrop-inartist.com encontrarás más ejemplos de mis dibujos collage y retratos de casas.

Espero que esta descripción te haya resultado interesante. Si tienes alguna pregunta o comentario, no dudes en dejarlo aquí abajo.

Vivir por 100 años! Live a Hundred!

 Live sketch artist & portraits 

Viviendo 100 años (Español)

A comienzos de este extraño  año 2020, tuve la hermosa oportunidad de asistir como THE DROP-IN ARTIST al cumpleaños numero 100 de la abuela de una amiga.  La reunión se hizo en un Pub cerca de la residencia de la cumpleañera.  La reunión congregó familiares y nietos. Para algunos  resultó ser  una oportunidad para conocer a su bisabuela y para otros que, ancestros y predecesores se unieran en una celebración por la vida.  


Celebrating 100 years


At the beginning of this strange year 2020, just before lockdown, I had the opportunity to attend as THE DROP-IN ARTIST the 100th birthday celebration of my friend’s grandmother, Mrs Yvonne Holmes. 


The celebration was held in at the Heckfield Inn near her home.  The reunion brought together many generations: for some, it proved to be an opportunity to meet their great-grandmother and for others a celebration to life, to be enjoyed between extended family and friends.


A manera de entretenimiento mi trabajo consistió en retratar a los invitados en el libro de invitados para que ellos pudieran luego dedicar unas líneas a nuestra centenaria  cumpleañera,  para digitalizar los dibujos y  poder enviarlos  como trajeta de agradecimiento.


As event artist, I was there to capture the guests’ portrait in a specially commissioned celebration book. They could then pen a few lines on their own portrait page to Yvonne so she could have this as a keepsake or her remarkable achievement.


 The portrait page could then be digitized to be used as afterparty thank you card


 Durante toda la tarde estuve haciendo  retratos ¡ 31 retratos  en total!   Todo un record! Un par de dibujos fueron añadidos en postproduction para así tener a todos los invitados del día reunidos  en el libro. También  se añadieron decorados para las páginas donde se luego se añadirían  fotos y tarjetas.



I did 31 portraits in total during the gathering.   Quite a record! I also added decorations for the pages where photos and cards would later be added.


A manera de “escrapbook” - libro donde recortamos y pegamos cosas para  evocar ideas, sentimientos y cosas para recordar algún día especial- Al libro se le ha ido añadiendo una muestra las invitaciónes, servilletas, y  cualquier cosas que sirva para recordar el día. Y como no hacerlo; cuando cumples 100 años, en Inglaterra, si lo comunicas al Buckinham Palace, la mismísima Reina  de Inglaterra, te manda sus propia felicitaciones y te invita a tomar Té  en su residencia real. 


Like a scrapbook, the book has samples of the invitations, napkins and anything worth recording to mark this memorable day.


In England when you turn 100, Her Majesty the Queen sends you a birthday card! Unfortunately, Her Majesty declined to come to Yvonne’s party as she was engaged elsewhere. She missed a great party!


                                                                This is a time lapse of the book. Un videito del libro








Yvonne was later invited to a veteran’s tea party at Buckingham Palace in the summer, but as you all know there is no certainty in 2020 and it was cancelled.

Pero vivimos un 2020 en los que cualquier acividad programada es suceptible  a cancelaciones y este fue el caso.



   Lamentablemente  y parte del ciclo natural  de la  vida, Yvonne falleció.

 

    Su funeral  mantuvo el mismo espíritu que el de su cumpleaños celebrar su vida y haber sido parte de ella.  Para rendir honores  Se contó con la presencia de la presidenta  de la WAAF association. Yvonne se unió a la WAAF los 18 años durante la segunda guerra mundial.


 Se decidió que el resto del libro guardara la memoria de su funeral que tuvo lugar en la iglesia dónde ella iba habitualmente cerca del Pub donde meses atrás celebramos su cumpleaños. El libro  pasó  de ser un libro de invitados para convertirse un homenaje a su vida en su último año.  

Que en Paz Descanse


  Sadly, Yvonne passed away in September and her family asked me to record her funeral with military honours to close the chapter on her remarkable life and this book. 


Yvonne joined WAAF at the age of 21 during the Second World War. The chairman of the WAAF Association (Tracy Watson) was there to pay tribute, together with a Squadron Leader from the local RAF airbase and two standard bearers from the WAAF Association and RAF Association.


Her funeral kept the same spirit as her birthday: A celebration of her life. 


I used this theme of paying tribute to help transform her book using the events from her funeral at Hook Church and the wake (at the same pub as her party) to illustrate her remarkable life and to show the love for her of those who are left behind.


 May she rest in peace.


"The LORD will watch over your coming
and going both now and forevermore"


Psalm 21

A song os ascent



 Some pages for the funeral. (They were done from pictures)

Private party - Fiesta Privada en un Club de Londres en la zona de Mayfair

Private party at Mayfair, The Conduit Club. London
December 9, 2018

My first event via Scarlett was a charming Party at The Conduit Club in London

https://theconduit.com/

Our host also 
wanted to dedicate the party to a women's charity which she volunteers for https://www.womenforwomen.org.uk


In keeping with the charity's vision of woman supporting woman, she embarked upon the challenge to hire a team of women only artist. This she accomplished with a talented magician, an electric violinist and me, I was honored to be part of this fantastic evening.

Photo: Sample drawing done to test materials and technique before the event with a charity branded paper; Ink with two colour splashes on A5 cardboard paper.

Fiesta privada en Mayfair, The Conduit Club. Londres 
9 de diciembre de 2018 
Mi primer evento de Scarlett fue una fiesta súper Chic en el Club Privado "The Conduit" en Londres https://theconduit.com/ Nuestra anfitriona también quiso dedicar la fiesta a una organización benéfica para mujeres en la que ella trabaja como voluntaria https://www.womenforwomen.org.uk 
De acuerdo con la visión de organización de apoyo a la mujer, se embarcó en el desafío de contratar a un equipo de mujeres artistas. Se asombró de la dificultad para encontrar mujeres magos pero logró con gran acierto encontrar a Romina una maga talentosa, una violinista eléctronica y a mí!, Tuve el honor de ser parte de una velada fantástica.

Sandhurst Commissioning Ball 2018

From my page:
www.thedrop-inartist.comFriday 10th, August.


It was a great honour that on Friday 10th August I was invited to The Royal Military Academy
at Sandhurst to

draw portraits of the newly commissioned officers at their Commissioning Ball.  The Academy is where all officers in the British Army are trained and their motto of ‘Serve to Lead’ is something that they now live by in their new regiments.  Over a 3 hour period I was proud to be able to draw 15 Officers, both male and female, and to be able to see their wonderful characters and to portray it in their portraits. Congratulations to all those who were commissioned on the day and for completing one of the hardest courses in the British Army.




Testimony:

"Daniela was invited to the Commissioning Ball at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst to draw  the newly commissioned officers who had just completed their 1 year course.  The course they had completed tested them in every way possible and a number of their colleagues did not succeed in making the grade. So the Ball was a celebration of them passing the course and becoming officers and the future of the British Army.
It was therefore really important for Daniela to capture the ‘spirit of the moment’ in their portraits and I am delighted she exceeded my expectations.



They were all delighted with their portraits and immediately were showing them to their guests. Daniela blended in to what was a completely new environment to her and it was obvious that her subjects enjoyed chatting to her while she completed the portrait. We will be inviting her back!"

In loving memory. A la memoria de Doreen

In loving memory
May 6,2018


I was touched when a friend of mine, Lisa, asked me if she could use a drawing I did of her mum in a drop-in artist home visit for the front cover of the Order of Service for her funeral. The moment we shared whilst doing the drawing served as a reminder to all friends and family that attended the funeral that we all share precious moments. Somehow this special image of her will stay in our hearts.

A la memoria de Doreen


6 de Mayo de 2018

Me conmovió cuando una amiga mía, Lisa, me preguntó si podía usar un dibujo que le hice a su madre en una de mis visitas de Dibujo, en la cubierta de la Orden de Servicio del funeral de su madre. El momento que compartimos mientras hacíamos el dibujo quedó marcado en el papel. Me gusta imaginar que el retrato sirve para conectar con la memoria de aquel a quien se contempla y que apartir de esos recuerdos cada quien traza, dibuja o a veces corrige el recuerdo que permanecerá definitivamente en cada uno de los corazones.

Love Story. Una historia de amor.


Love Story

February 15, 2018

What if you could have your love story represented in a single image?

That’s what this St. Valentine’s Day commission is all about. I was asked to bring to life an illustration with love at its center. Their story is told as their memories unfold.

Historia de amor 
15 de febrero de 2018 
¿Qué pasaría si pudieras tener tu historia de amor representada en una sola imagen? 
De eso se trata esta comisión de San Valentín. Me pidieron dar vida a una ilustración donde el  amor es el tema centra. La historia transcurré entre besos y símbolos que solo cobran sentido para los que viven esta historia de amor.

New concept of Portrait "City Town Portrait"


Sometimes places can make us remember a special moment. Having done a portrait of that special city you love, highlighting those places that trigger your most beloved memory will help you to remember and also bring you back the feelings you associated with it
In this sample, Somebody´s Reading Town
My client wants to give a surprise to a friend. Together they visit Reading and he decided which places he wants to portrait in a single drawing. So he chose part of the Keneth River from a specific point of view, the higher tower in Reading and The Valpystreet restaurant located in 17-19 Valpy St, Reading RG1 1AR www.valpys.co.uk
