The long pose drawing class ended on my third week with the Goshen Art Academy. I posted my work from that session. The two weeks after that, we did the skills-building exercise where we draw with a white chalk pencil against a black drawing paper. The focus was getting the main highlights and the subtle lighting of the sitter. I moved to the opposite side of the room so that I have a side-lit view of the model this time.
The following week, value, chroma and hue in color theory were discussed. A sepia chalk pencil was handed out in the class and we were given the task to use that for the limited color palette. So back to the drawing board and we finished the drawing we did last week. I'm proud of how this one came out.
This came out so good, Mel. I loved it with the white highlights but it is wonderful with the addition of the sepia chalk. Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joan! I enjoy the instructor's feedback response at each stage in the 3 hour drawing period. The instructor says it is better to catch the errors at the early stages rather than later because it is easier to make those corrections. He's very good at helping us get on track.
