Course work: Some further work on Stage Three of Project Two. Most of my effort of late has been in making small corrections and additions: I think it would be sensible to continue to do this, but to simultaneously work further along into the course, since the little adjustments I have been making only require a few minutes of effort.
Reading and theoretical studies:
E. H. Gombrich Art and Illusion (11th Printing)
Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, USA, 1969
Pp. 242-267
Concluding the theoretical work on P. 93 of the text, I did a colored pencil sketch (~15x18 cm) of Rembrandt’s The Philosopher Reading in my sketchbook to demonstrate “…using colour to emphasise the fall of light on objects.” The textbook statement seems unclear, and I have been looking for a painting that seemed suitable for almost two months. What I have attempted to do is to identify the underlying colors in the work and to strengthen them and use them in a non-linear fashion to show their role in delineating the way that their relative values depict the objects.
Time today: 1 hour 37 minutes
