A busy day cut severely into my drawing efforts.
Course work: An oil pastel sketch of five pieces of fruit on a 9 x 12” (~23 x 30 cm) sheet of buff Canson charcoal paper. I found that the texture of this paper was so coarse that far too much of the underlying paper color showed through to be pleasing to the eye.
Reading:
Nick Meglin Drawing From Within
Warner Books, Inc., New York, 1999
Pp 161-222
(This book is more useful than many of its type: it emphasizes a personal response to the subject, but with less “rah-rah” and hardly any pseudopsychological or pseudospiritual claptrap. The exercises in the book are clearly aimed at urban dwellers, but since this includes a majority of humankind, it can hardly be considered a major flaw.)
Total time: 1 hour 6 minutes
