Course work: A simplified sketch of the woodland drawing, using colored pencils, primarily to test some color ideas. I think, after doing this, that I need to make the grassy area wider than it appears to the eye (it is on a down-slope) in order to produce a better visual effect. The contrast where the leaf-litter meets the grassland, and where the grassland meets the distant trees, also needs to be stronger.
Reading:
Leonhard Emmerling Jackson Pollock
Taschen, Köln, 2006
Pp 65-96
(Not a painter I greatly admire, although I do find some of the more monochromatic drip paintings interesting. Overall, an unhappy, alcoholic individual who died too young.)
Personal sketchbook work: A drawing of our sofa, looking almost directly into the light.
Other activity: Watched the “Basic Tonal Drawing” demonstration on the OCA website. I’ve often found it very helpful to watch demonstrations of this sort, as there are many “tricks” one simply cannot learn from reading.
Total time: 1 hour 6 minutes
