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.

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...

Astrid - beautiful inside and out! Charcoal on Fabriano Artistico Those of you that attended the Steven Assael Workshops at the Boca Museum School know of his practice to clip his palette next to his painting for a seamless evaluation of color.  Look at this cool product by David Jon Kassan. The parallel palette comes in two sizes. Check this out! David Jon Kassan Beautiful blended skin tone palette. His technique differs from the full palette of Steven Assael. Different results, both exquisite.  Check out his sketchbook live videos. Be prepared to learn from this man. I just realized he is having a week long workshop in Civita Italy - one week painting from a nude model. I am finishing some of my life drawings and will be posting them on facebook and this blog.  Is anyone interested in small classes at my studio? My ideas are open and limited to up to 5 - 6 students. Cost will depend on demand and model fees. Life drawing with ...
