Most weeks, I be part of a session the place all of us draw, with our cameras on, and the moderator asks folks to pose. Every sketch is timed to a chunk of music, from 2 to six minutes lengthy. I typically use these classes to strive new issues.
Persevering with on the theme of monoprints from yesterday here’s a set from a session the place I drew everybody on a big sheet of pastel paper with pastel and charcoal (prime half of picture beneath) after which used a gel plate switch to create a brand new piece from it. (backside half of picture)
I like the subtler, barely fuzzy, and really textured nature of the transfers and all of the imperfections that include the method. You’ll be able to see a variety of it within the picture beneath.
And, the switch technique seals the charcoal and dry pastel, so that you don’t want any further fixative.
On this set, I picked 5 coloured pencils earlier than the session, with out considering a lot. My solely selecting restriction was to not decide something that will appear to be a pores and skin shade. This made me be freer with my shade selections, which is at all times a superb factor. In my books, color-matching is an over-rated factor.
This final experiment is greatest seen as this video to make sense.
I’m actually having fun with these classes and every of those experiments brings up much more questions than solutions however that’s actually the enjoyable of all of it.
