So this week we moved onto manmade forms which are generally a bit trickier than natural forms but you rose to the challenge and did not disappoint me. We practised our proportion and shading and not forgetting those ellipses! Thank you to everyone who brought in their own objects to draw. It helped to make a more interesting composition. Remember it’s charcoal next week! So wear something you don’t mind getting messy.
Last night we looked at natural forms and different ways of mixing colours. Well done for trying out all the different techniques. As the course progresses you’ll learn which ones work best for you. You all created some really vibrant drawings last night and you can see your individual styles emerging. See you next week and don’t forget to bring in a white object to draw!
Thanks to everyone for coming yesterday, it was nice to finally meet you all and put names to faces. You all created some lovely drawings of natural forms and well done on tackling those pesky shells! Don’t forget to bring your manmade object to draw next week.
It’s not too late! If you’ve been thinking about it for a while but though you may have missed your chance then now is the time to act. Contact the course tutor Wendy Atton to book a place on either of the 2 courses we have starting this week.
