A Tree's Aura

Posted in , ,
Here's a photo of the piece I just got back from my observational drawing teacher. The objective here was to only render the negative space, that is to say the space that is not the object. I was really pleased with how this came out. The piece is roughly 20" x 36" and done in colored pencil. Kate wants to hang it in the bedroom. Of all of my work in the past year, I'm probably the proudest of this. If anyone is interested, I'm thinking of having Kate take a high quality image that could be suitable for reproduction and framing if you like this.

Observational Drawing Odd and Ends

Posted in , , ,
These were sketchbook assignments for Observational Drawing. For those who might not be familiar with the art world, one of the most common forms of practice is to copy master works. I've been assigned a few for this class. The first is my copy a Da Vinci sketch (Thanks to Bob Cole for the book it came out of!) The second is my copy of Jacques-Louis David sketch, (David actually was doing this practice sketch after Michaelangelo!) The last is my own rendering of a bunch of vegetables we had in the house.
