Today I created a sketch with my darkest background with charcoal and pastel I used my sketch book charcoal and pastel to create a very patterned background. Firstly I have to create the background. As a frame, I went over with charcoal creating straight or edgy strokes for this method, it is best to have putty rubber or glue tack. Squint best to do I learned and remind myself this post if I wanted to see shadow and tone start point I had to wrinkle slightly close my eyes and darkness started out Not using a line using 3 tones shapes column
I enjoyed seeing everyone work especially single colours combined together and the outcast was great I noticed many people don’t express faces or just fill the face-up darker shadows I wanted little relevant with colours outs stand on my drawing but over ambitious my work.
My tutor had spoken about the materials being made of charcoal water colour and gauche and oils and other paint I hope I could share on my next post
The more I try to control the less control I have to leave something more alive both abstract believing eyes tell stage to go over the top once o rehearsal then run it poetic distingue character see the tone local colours simplify fill the frame certain things frames stretch the forms observed go around movement can be simple or realistic abstract looking this way or looking down visual clues I find fun to sketch try out new method against with time playing tennis without trying tv report works for everything doing exercise muscle increase so much frame mind.
I need to improve my measuring and layer applying for sure because difficult to balance both colours and black pastel not over lap.
