Jean
A very good take on the barbed wire theme, Jean has expanded the concept by including the weathered wooden framework of the old gate and fence posts. Jean has used Baohong 300gsm cold press paper - I am not familiar with this paper but it looks nice. Some info on the paper HERE. She has used the Derwent Sketching W/S pencils medium and dark to create the soft tones in the fence posts, added some Staedtler Sanguine pastel pencil for the rusty hinges and finished off the wire with a sharp 4B graphite pencil. Looks good Jean!
EM
Two very creative submissions by EM. She has thought outside the box a bit and found a different examples of wires around her home. Just what I was hoping for!
Starting with a mini wire whisk done in graphite HB, 2B, 3B, 6B on A3 Canson 110gsm paper. Beautifully observed, simple drawing with lovely backlighting that creates a wonderful shadow.
Her second drawing is of a Venetian glass earring in Prismacolor pencils done on some 90gsm printer paper. A pretty little drawing... and, how many times have I said to you all to use better paper even if you are just fooling around? As you will often be surprised at the great work you create but saddened that it is on paper that will not keep. Oh, well, its a lovely drawing anyway EM.
MP
MP has chosen a very tricky subject, but once again proves she is up to the challenge and delights with her drawing. How many of us have seen this style of wire gate in our neighborhood? Her attention to detail and exact shapes is excellent. Created on 220 Canson drawing paper with an HB underdrawing, the color work is done in Prismacolor pencils. MP has highlighted the fence wires with a Signo white gel pen and then created sharp black shadows on them using an 8B pencil. Very nice drawing MP!
KM
KM loves trying out new materials and this week she has attempted charcoal for the first time. She also has a fun twist to her concepts and this week is no exception. During her walks around her neighborhood she has noted how people used fences to stay inside or to keep out the world - and how sometimes the fences were breached letting in the world. Created as a quick 30 minute sketch she has used 2B and 4B charcoal pencils on a 110gsm paper. A good concept drawing KM.
