Project One: Creative Drawing

The first project was creative drawing. We were told to pick three objects from a vast quantity provided (man made and natural). From there I did three pages of primary drawings and paintings. As shown below.
Using a HB pencil, I did a detailed drawing of the glove and then moved onto watercolour to show the colour, texture and shadows cast on the glove.

Using black, white and brown conte pencil – I wanted to recreate the velvety texture of the leaf (I found that the pencil did this well but had also considered using fine tip pen to show the softness of the contrast of the leaf).

Using a mixture of graphite pencil, watercolour and fine liner - I focused mainly on the detail and colour.






As I had missed my opportunity to draw a life model, I sat down and drew the set up in the studio. (Being the last day before the weekend and the beginning of a new project) I did this quick painting in acrylic of the installation in our room.

Happy with my work and the day ending, I walked home - day dreaming about our next project and recovering from my first week.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog.

I will uncover the projects that I’m given – ramble on about my work, artists and the overall course.

So I will begin with a bit about myself – Finished The General Foundation Art and Design course at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design.
Now I am at the end of the first semester in 2nd year Fine Arts. What a difference from first year but still very exciting!
