Thank you so much for your class
I love the atmosphere in this drawing, Brenda!
This is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this, Urzsula! This is a strong drawing, despite the paper working against you.
Wonderful!
Ha! It sure would be great if we could be on location there, right?!
This looks great, Helen!
Finally I completed the Colosseum drawing.
I am on location, just kidding. I would be forced to get back on the tour bus. I watched the video 3 times. Perspective is something to work on.
In my travel journal with pastel.
Hi Scott,,
Used Master Touch, 110 lb, Multi-media paper (9×12) this time and charcoal. I prefer to use charcoal paper by Strathmore. On the multi-media paper I used for this drawing the charcoal adhered to the paper, regardless of my light touch. As a result it was not easy to create a highlights by erasing the areas in the the windows.
Happy Easter!
Urszula
Great Scott! Thank you for another great session. It was raining here in Ottawa, and it got into my drawing somehow.
Merci and see you next week!
I used graphite on white paper (don’t know how to work with charcoal). I tend to side with more “organic” shapes, so no straight edge or ruler.
