When I was cleaning off my palette to make room for a color mixing chart this Monday, I happened to love the way it looked and snapped a photo. The perspective drawing really gave me trouble this week. I’ve done perspective in the past and with how tall I am my horizon line made the vanishing points mostly go off the page. At a certain point with the smaller boxes I eventually just started to wing it. They actually started to look better after I stopped trying to draw what I was actually seeing. We then started to grid out a still life in pencil and then paint the three shades of grey or white the subject was. This is going to be used later for a glazing exercise but in order to get it right I had to take a black and white photo with my phone and stay after class for a bit. I’m pretty happy with how the proportions and colors came out and I’m glad I stayed to do more work on it. That’s it so far this week.
