JEFFREY: “How do you see the picture of “Mackerel” evolving so far? Are you more interested in the characters or the scene?”

DIANA:  “Well I’m starting as I usually do with the sketches, throwing ideas out there then I’ll use elements of them. Trying to get some nice compositions and shapes. I’ve been adding to the shoal of fish so by the end they’ll be taking up the whole page . Do you like that idea? It’s great to be able to use mental images that your descriptions conjure up , but also a challenge as usually I’d work from life or a photo…”
