Hallowe'en inspired - cut outs continue...

Again, we were looking at outline rather than creating the illusion of form as we did in the still-lifes a couple of weeks ago.  This time however, we played with different colours behind the cut outs and experimented with collage.

Well done everyone!

2B pencils, observation & no shadows

We started by observational drawings without shadows then a few brave people worked into their drawings to create something else...

Well done everyone - lovely work!

Next week we'll be cutting so craft knives and cutting boards will be useful if you have them.  No problem if not, there's an alternative...

Sketch books keep your work together but an inexpensive way to start is by using lining paper from your local DIY shop.

2B pencils, straight edges and observation, observation, observation...

Trickier week this week...

Measured drawing using 2B pencils and a straight edge.  This is enough to give anyone wrinkles and an achy arm.

Whatever your preferred form of creativity, observation is an important tool.

My images don't show the sighs and the angst but do show some lovely drawings and excellent first attempts at a very disciplined form of learning.

The last three images show how we explored composition too, demonstrating that even when something is finished careful cropping can enhance the work made.

Very well done everyone - excellent work!
