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.

The drawing seems more convincing as the values are more distinct.

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.

"Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad," Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali what gesture!!! Value drawings. The old masters called the use of value to show form, "Chiaorscuro." Usually low key compositions with intense lighting. (pretty hard to pull off with candles!) Rembrandt Self portrait in a window Kathe Kollwitz Picasso Self Portrait Georges Seurat Georges Seurat Gesture and the use of line as a scaffold Emanuela de Musis at the Academy of Realist Art This gorgeous work is done in the classical method. To my life drawing students, see how they build the "scaffolding." This method of teaching involves one year of intensive drawing from casts. Look how emotional these paintings and drawings have become by not "reporting" all of the facts. They are creating an illusion of reality, not reporting all of the details.

SINGAPORE BIENNALE 2016

Lucky me. I arrived in Singapore to find their Biennale in the Singapore Art Museum and other Museums and institutions around town. It has been a great introduction to the Southeast Asian geography and culture. Many visits have pulled me out of an extreme state of jet lag and whetted my appetite to learn more about Southeast Asia. Singapore Biennale AN ATLAS OF MIRRORS - AT ONCE, MANY WORLDS "In charting our way around the world, humankind has relied on instruments of vision as well as navigation. 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...

"Thought must come first" ~ Odd Nerdrum

"Moonfairy" Marcia @ CSMART Hour sketch Come join us Thursday evenings 6:30 - 8:30 Open studio ~ no instruction "You are about to die. There are two paintings on the wall, A Rembrandt and a Mondrian. which is the one you wish to see last? Live, love, and make art like that moment; as if you were about to die."~ Odd Nerdrum American Artist Magazine's October edition features an article about Odd Nerdrum. The article discusses Nerdrum's work as philosophical allegories. Always intriguing work with spiritual undertones. Reminiscent of Rembrandt. Nerdrum uses only four colors but he premixes the palette and tubes the colors he uses in his paintings. Curiously, he mixes blue from mars black and titanium white. Check out this magazine - October American Artist. The Nerdrum Institute Beginning Drawing Class ~ Perspective and the Fifth perspective by Rudolf Stussi Very cool stuff.
