Pastels
give immediate colour which make them ideal in a life class - no fuss squeezing
out paint and mixing colours. But you
still have to get the drawing right and this is what I focus on in the first
few classes of term. Begin with a
reddish brown, not pencil, not black, and not white
paper, then later you can build up the colours. It
is always possible to rescue a drawing with a strong outline. Just do not be in a hurry to outline and
do not use black. Keep that in
reserve and try out a bright red or a blue first. How
to make progress with your art beyond the first term of life drawing? It is vital to have an idea of the kind of
work you want to achieve. This is why
it is important to look at artist examples.
This term I will be referring to Delacroix who was one of the first to
use pastel. Notice how he makes the
most of limited time: coloured paper, intense working of important areas and
an outline sketch for the remainder. The
topics are always seen as extra to the core activity of drawing our
models. You are welcome to use any material or style. I
recommend that you bring along a few previous drawings and a sketchbook to
each class so that you have connection and continuity from week to week. Looking forward to drawing
again with you! Derek 30th December 2019 |
