ArtServe Drawing Class Jan. 21

This Sunday started with the departure of my husband, Phil, on a seaplane to Haiti. He is a marine salvor and an engineer. He and two others will fly to Great Inagua, the southern most Bahamian Island. From there, they will fly to Port au Prince, Haiti, anchor the seaplane and take the custom dinghy to shore to find a place to land the company's very large barges full of supplies near the ravaged docks. I have faith they will be safe. I did buy them masks and gloves.

Value Sketches

I will discuss how light falls on objects. We will discuss the anatomy of a shadow.

My handouts deal with small value sketches of our compositions.

I use Ed Whitney's book as inspiration.

We will use paper of various values to cut or rip sketches to be made into finished drawings.

I will bring a bouquet of flowers and some satin material as models.

You are welcome to bring your own objects, photographs or use the gallery space for inspiration.

See you there!

Check out the work of Catherine Murphy.

I will bring in some examples of her drawings. Her paintings will also blow you away.

DESIGN IS EVERYTHING!

Atlases map and mirror our journeys of discovery and often make visible more than just physical terrain; driven by our needs and desires, they embolden us to venture into the unknown. From our coordinates in Southeast Asia, the arc of our shared histories encompasses East and South Asia.
