Today's assignment was to do a gestural drawing. First we get the main shapes in (like circles, or squares) and then very quickly draw the subject. I love this way of drawing, and I actually got the size correct and got the whole subject within the page! Progress!
Kathie George asked us to draw with a pencil and to NOT erase. I went by the rules. (Those who know me are raising their eyebrows right now, but truly, I did go by the rules. :) Then afterwards, I used a permanent marker and followed the lines that I liked best. This only took me about 15 minutes to do. I also used Kathie's past lesson about extending your arm and measuring things with your thumb, that's how I got the inside of the cup to be the correct elliptical shape. The rest of the cup was 2 1/2 times the width of the elliptical circle. The sculpture was given to me by
Joye Moon as a hostess gift when she stayed with me years ago. I really treasure it! Joye teaches workshops all over the country too. Check out her website. Love her portraits!
