In today’s session we did some more drawing from a live model, well done everyone, it is one of the hardest things to do, and you all did really great, including one person who did theirs in, one of the many, drawing styles of Picasso, well done.
We also have some more self portraits, using continuous line, pen, and charcoal, whilst some people copied from the provided images to see what they could learn about how Kokoschka used his lines.
One person made an imaginative piece with a self portrait amongst flowers using coloured pencil. Another person used inspiration from an image from the experimental watercolour book that we worked last summer (how time flies!), creating interesting shapes from the highlights and shadows in a face and showing how using only monotone to achieve depth can be really affective.
Someone has started a tonal face exploring flesh tones in acrylic paint, and we have an abstracted collage piece based on a person’s love of nature, and a beautiful line drawing from a Holmfirth view.
Well done everyone, next week we will conclude our explorations into the portrait and figure.
