This week we worked from household appliances, items and gadgets using ready made pens. We made sample sheets to explore our pens and the marks that we could create from them. We then did continuous line drawings to warm up before drawing in our usual way from the objects.
There are some excellent drawings here, really very well done everyone. Drawing from items such as these really does require careful looking: taking time to look at shapes and proportions before drawing is really important, ensuring that we are really seeing what is there rather than what the brain thinks it sees. I’m really glad that someone brought in a fountain pen to draw from because I had forgotten to mention that. If any of you have fountain pens, do have a go drawing from them.
There are also some charcoal drawings where some of you continued from last week, as well as more work on the Large Picture of which we are enjoying the weekly instalments of, including this week work on the deer and fox, the idea being to make sure all the elements harmonise with each other. Again, well done all of you!
