Rendering Glass and Liquids

Drawing glass requires a basic knowledge of perspective.

I will reinforce our perspective lesson.

It is a great exercise to strengthen your awareness of value structure and the nuances of hard and soft edges.

I will bring in various glass bottles and objects.

Please bring in any unusual glass containers as models.

I will reinforce our perspective lesson and have the "Hands" handouts for the few that missed last week.

Materials:

Sketchbook or good paper.

Charcoal or graphite and powders with erasers.

Patience and NO FEAR!

Check out this video from youtube. Speed drawing liquid pouring into a glass.

Notice the wide value scale early in the drawing.

She/he determines the darkest dark and the lightest light.

This is a great way to approach any drawing.

I am waiting for approval from artserve

on rescheduling Thursday, 3/25 to that Monday, 3/22.

We would be able to have class in the ballet studio.

I would love to hire a model - sitting fee extra.

We will discuss this on Thursday.

See you on Thursday!

Tuesday night drawing at my home, Studio Blueye is still on!

Please call if you would like to join

Space is limited.

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. These regions bear the imprints of one another's diverse cultures, even as boundaries are also constantly reimagined. Fraught and unstable, these borders are characterized by fluid mo
