Course work: Continued with the “Drawing Animals” exercise, concentrating my effort on capturing basic shapes. Only managed three sketches of cats, in charcoal, today.
Reading:
Carol Strickland The Annotated Mona Lisa
Andrews and McMeel, Kansas City, Missouri, USA, 1992
Pp 159-194
(I cannot recommend this book, which claims to be “A crash course in art history…”. It abounds with factual errors…three in the first sentence alone. All of art history before 1800 is skimmed over in 64 pages, with the subsequent two centuries getting twice as many pages. I’ve read it…now I can throw it away.)
Personal Sketchbook work: A charcoal sketch of a white-tailed deer in the yard, from a photo I took.
Total time:1 hour 36 min
