Week 4, Tricks to Put it All Together






Today was very exciting at our drawing class. We had the antique store to ourselves, and used it for rendering still life drawings. We continued our talk about shadows, revisiting the ideas of cast shadows, form shadows, core shadows and reflected light. We looked at Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring painting as a classic study in light and form. We revisited the concept of negative space, that being the key to having a drawing "lock in".....We used our viewfinders to see shapes around the antique store, not things, but interesting shapes. One final concept, we talked about rhythm in a drawing or painting.
