I am Your Sunshine

After we did the landscape drawing in the sunken garden, we returned to the classroom. Paul handed each of us a square of a image that was cut out of a larger image. We might not be able to tell from the small pieces that we got what it was that we were drawing, but we were supposed to draw the “values” not the “things” anyways. When we were all done, Paul took our drawings and pieced them on the wall, and voilà. (Mine is the one on the top left corner.)

It looked amazing. And you can tell that different person has different interpretation of what he’s given. I loved this project.

Then we ventured a new medium – crow quill pen + ink. This time, Paul taught us to create different values using hash marks. Our goal is to recreate our breakfast and put it in a setting that makes sense.

Today, we drew small portraits of our classmates on tiny pieces of some fancy paper Paul gave us. We were to make a wash (add some ink to a dish of water to create a shade that we like), make some organic shape on the paper and then draw our partner with a crow quill pen.

Here are some of mine.
