Friday 11 December 2009




Course work: A little more work on my driftwood drawing, graphite pencil on A3 paper, part of the Detailed observation of nature exercise, which I think is now finished. I’ll look at it again in a couple of days and see if I need to do anything further.




Reading:



Morrell Wise Colored Pencils

Walter Foster Publishing, Tustin, California, USA, 1985

[This very slender (64 pages) volume could better be titled Use of Colored Pencils in Mixed Media Work, as little of the book deals with the use of colored pencils alone. Overall, not a very useful book. ]



Sean Dye The Mixed Media Sourcebook

Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 2004

Pp 35-81



Personal Sketchbook work: A line-only drapery sketch, done in pen. Pure line is a particularly difficult technique for me to use convincingly.




Total time: 1 hour 8 min
