We had a bracing time drawing outside with our artists’ drawing tools today. Well done, everyone! We finished off by drawing the views from inside where it was a little warmer. We learned about, and experimented with, all kinds of charcoal, compressed charcoal, graphite sticks, Conté, and graphite and carbon mixed drawings tools. We experimented with various Derwent wax based drawing pencils also.
We looked at how we create a ‘unit’ when drawing a view (or person) from observation, and using that ‘unit’ as our measuring base. Lorraine kindly offered her head for part of our demonstration, thank you, Lorraine!
