Thursday night artings

[the_deep_magic]

Nothing terribly exciting this week -- back to all-white objects, supposedly so we could see how we've improved, but possibly because the instructor forgot to bring anything else.



No, the teapot is not growing a hideous boil -- that's an apple leaning at a truly improbable angle.  This paper is darker than the kind I used last week, and I think I like the lighter better.  It makes the contrast between light and shadows much easier to create.

Next "term," the same instructor is doing an Intro to Portrait Drawing class, using the same charcoal "painting" technique, and I think I'm going to take it because a) this technique really seems to suit me and b) I won't have to go out and buy a bunch of new materials.  I think it's even at the same time on Thursday nights.  Fear of change: it pays off.

I'm not even taking the class and I'm learning stuff. Lol! about the teapot's hideous boil. I did recognize it as fruit, though. :)

Ha ha, good! I have no idea how the guy got the apple to sit at that angle, but there it is.

I like the apple with the stem facing us, you got such great depth on it!

I think your patience with all of this is so awesome. I know when I'm in art class I'm always like, "UGH inanimate objects again?!" Like, I know you did draw people but I think it's great that you're enjoying every bit of this class

I think it helps that it's every week, not every day. Day after day of teapots would probably drive me nuts. That said, I AM excited to move on to more difficult stuff.
