Course work: Four 45-second gestures, the first so bad I repeated it as the second…little better. The last two were a bit more tolerable. For today’s blind contour drawing, we returned to the pose of the first gesture: a few areas were marginally acceptable, but it was mostly the usual irretrievable mess.
Blocked in the Assignment Five drawing on ~ 50 x 65 cm blue paper, and started to make adjustments.
Reading:
Karen Meyer-Berthel “Choosing the Right Drawing Paper”
in Drawing, Vol. 7 #26, Pp. 18-26.
(I found this article to be too anecdotal, with too little actual comparison of papers, to be of much use.)
Personal sketchbook work: A manikin sketch (with lots of pentimenti) exploring a possible minor change in position for the Assignment Five drawing. (This should probably have been done in my coursework sketchbook, with the model, but I’m rapidly running out of blank pages, and the model was taking a nap.) A pencil sketch of half a glass of iced tea, with a lemon slice, using a little white gouache for highlights. In retrospect, the glass of tea looks a good bit more lopsided than it did when I was working on it.
Total time: 1 hour 49 minutes
