I would like to say that this week with life drawing has been a good one. It didn't hurt that class was canceled on Tuesday. I was prepared for class, because Annie, Julia and I worked on the muscles together again. I think that out of all the clay muscles assignments, this one was one of the better ones, I liked the way things turned out with lower leg muscles. I'll have to take pictures of that, but I left the mannequin in the locker in APPA.
Announcement: I AM IN LOVE WITH INDIA INK! I went out and decided to go buy more because I have fallen in love. I can not wait to play around with the shell that is due on the 2nd, and see how my final picture will look. I have always loved painting and drawing it was was just a breath of fresh-artistic-inspiring air to be able to do both in the same project. I found myself doing mini studies of the shell on my own time later that evening, and playing around with ink and water.
I forgot to bring my Shell to class so the pictures I post are of a leg bone with a socket I suspect. I chose to buy brick red, and it is a very beautiful ink wash, however, drawing a bone.. made it look like I just ripped it out of someones leg. very morbid and graphic.. haha
Here is my close up cross contour study of the bone I found in class.
my bloody bone! creepy but fun!

My lovely art supporters working hard!
Your bone cross contour drawing with the ink turned out so well! What color of india ink is that? Have you tried using tea instead of ink? I love your enthusiam for the ink :)! It looks like you have a great head start on it and your shell drawing will turn out amazing I am sure! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much! It was Brick Red, and last I saw at penco they had some of those left. For a while ALL the ink was out due to this project!, I'll follow you and I cant wait to see some of your work.
ReplyDeleteYour bone contour drawing with ink worked out well. I think that it is great that you attempted the tea. I have thought about using coffee, or other pigments, however haven't braved it yet. I hope your shell drawing turns out to be one of your favorites.
