Fatima, the Zoooom art teacher emailed another boot picture for us to paint. I tried to remember the processes we used in class, but forgot the candle to mask pale parts, sketched in graphite first, and didn't shade with pure black. It was planned to be a more splodgier picture than first boot, to get me away from photo-realistic images I strive for, but as yet don't have the brush skills.
Sally, ages ago you said to turn the picture being drawn upside down, and that tip helped me so much in getting the lines and perspective ok. Thank you!
Another splendid rendition. I like the looseness of the picture and the delve into less photo-realistic result. Cool that you tried (and found helpful) turning the picture upside down @30pics4jackiesdiamond
@wakelys until I try out pastels next week???!!........ @salza thank you Sally. Tgevteacher says we're not to draw the object but the lines we see. Turning The picture upside down meant I only saw the lines and shapes. I must admit I was sceptical, but will do the technique again! @jacqbb very kind, thank you @grammyn not comfortable with splotchy, but getting more settled @kjarn thank you @casablanca well bedded? I like that @summerfield mad - yes, skilled -not yet!
