Course work: Continued work on the Assignment Three drawing, strengthening tones and intensifying color in a few areas. Most of today’s work was done with colored pencil, but some marker was used as well.

Weekly reflections on learning experience: Only a little progress was made this week, though I have some expectation of completing the final Assignment 3 drawing soon. On several days I have found myself with more enthusiasm for work than with strength with which to work. My personal sketchbook work has suffered badly during this extended period of poor health.
Total time: 54 minutes

Course work: Further work on the final drawing for assignment 3 with colored pencil.
Reading:
Daniel M. Mendelowitz and Duane Wakeham A Guide to Drawing (Fifth Edition)
Harcourt Brace Jovanovich College Publishers, Orlando, Florida, USA, 1995
Pp 307-326 (Of the several books described as college level textbooks that I have read, this one is the best, combining as it does historical overview, technique, and authors’ opinions not excessively mixed with their political views. The simple fact that it has endured through five editions is almost a recommendation in itself.)
Weekly reflections on learning experience: I have not reflected on my learning experience since mid-February, since during most of this time I was too ill to do much in the way of meaningful work. I have now improved enough to be recapturing some of my enthusiasm for the work, and hope to gain enough strength and energy to be able to complete Assignment 3 in the near future.
Total time: 38 min
