The last drawing class....

This is all of our 20 squares combined to make one picture

this is the original painting by a Victorian female artist Emily Mary Osborne , 1857, Nameless and Friendless

you might remember that each class member was given two squares of a larger picture to reproduce it in shades using a 4B pencil. Each square had to be two different textures...and it was really interesting how most of the squares lined up with the next square...some were EXACTLY right...like where the hand in the top of the square below lined up with the womans hand above...and the sketch book lines...that was because she had us grid the drawings to match them up...My first square

everyone had to write their name to reproduce the first square and the second texture was one of our choice...My second square

i used vertical lines....

Today we sketched a setup using Conte Crayons...red black white and a burnt umber one...This is my sketch

..i liked it better before Diane had me correct the white pot which was not the right shape...in doing so i lost alot of texture of the conte crayon using white.....so it became more of a pastel quality...but oh well...whats done is done...or i could draw another right:>

The teacher Dianne Sweet had set it up so that each of us had a different view of a circular set up in the middle of the room...there were different pots all around the edge...we used our view finders to pick out a section to draw...

Margaret 's view of the setup

this one is the other Margarets...

This is a magnificent sketch of a Leonardo Di Vinci that she did using different textures in each square...its awesome when you see it in person and quite large...about 16x24

Bravo Margaret:>
