The drawing class is fun but I don't see much improvement over the year, particularly in proportion. But I like experimenting with composition a lot, and I'm a little more comfortable with tones. Staying inside the lines, (in this case, the gesso is applied inside the green tapes,) well, that's another problem altogether...

I like your composition there, Meg -- asymetrical, outside the lines, etc. Despite your thinking your work hasn't improved, FYI there's a well-followed artist in my area who's work is not unlike yours. So keep at it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Connie. I do particularly badly with shapes and proportion when I'm drawing small, and consequently parts of the bodies keep "growing" in the short time I'm working on them.
ReplyDeleteI got a lot of ideas on how to prepare the surface from the way you dye, also, so thanks!
