Thursday June 17 - Drawing Class at ArtServe


Drawing on the Dark Side
and HANDS! (102)

We will be drawing on black.
Bring your colored pencils, chalks, etc.
Just plain white is good for this too.

Those of you who have silverpoint, bring it.
I will bring some samples of black gessoed paper
You can see what happens with the metal point

Black is a great experiment for value studies (negative)
It is also interesting with color (the light is absorbed, not reflected)

I will also have a hands demo again.
I will bring info on hand anatomy

Please bring black paper if you have it.

See you thursday!
