Course work: Four 45-second gestures; tried Conté crayon today, which did not prove an ideal medium for working at sketchbook size. Tried a larger blind contour drawing today (~30 x 45 cm); this actually consists of four separate lines, with a pen “reset” for each.
As I continue exploring media for the Assignment Five drawing, I today started considering
the pose, and did a study with Conté crayon that I think is reasonably satisfactory.
I added and subtracted a little more tone from the tonal drawing nominally finished on 13 August.
Although it is probably outside the bounds of the course, I made a small monotype just for fun (I occasionally cut a linoleum block, and have ink and a glass plate on hand).
