Monday 8 February 2010




Course work: No luck with the fish today. Drew a cottontail rabbit from a series of photos I took last fall when this rabbit was a regular visitor to the edge of the lawn. Used a small assortment of colored pencils: black, two greys, two browns, and two greens. Didn’t place the drawing on the page as well as I’d planned, and ran out of page before I ran out of rabbit.



Reading:



Hajo Düchting Cézanne

Taschen, Köln, 1989

Pp 99-151



Personal Sketchbook work: A portrait sketch, to refresh my recollections of Assignment Two. Graphite pencil was the medium used. Page placement was a problem here as well, and I still have a tendency to shorten the antero-posterior dimension of the head. Nevertheless, despite its flaws, this is a far better sketch than I could have done before starting the course. I need to do more of these.



Total time: 2 hours 18 minutes
